Code enforcement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Code Enforcement is the act of enforcing a set of rules, principles, or laws (especially written ones) and insuring observance of a system of norms or customs. An authority usually enforces a civil code, a set of rules, or a body of laws and compel those subject to their authority to behave in a certain way.

Various individuals and organizations ensure compliance with the laws and rules including:

  • Buildling inspector is an official who is charged with ensuring that construction is in compliance with local codes.
  • Fire marshal is an official who is both a police officer and a firefighter and enforces a fire code.
  • Health inspector is an official who is charged with ensuring that restaurants meet local health codes.
  • Police forces are government organisations charged with the responsibility of maintaining law and order.
  • Zoning Enforcement Officer is an official who is charged with enforcing the zoning code of a local jurisdiction, such as a municipality or county.
