Who enforces the Property Maintenance Code, and how does this process occur?
The code is enforced through the Planning and Zoning Department, much like existing zoning and nuisance violations. The township does not seek out violations, but does accept anonymous complaints, as it currently does with the aforementioned regulations. After a complaint is received, a property would be inspected to determine if any property maintenance, zoning, or nuisance violations exist.
