Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is a code violation?
A code violation occurs when a property does not comply with local building or zoning regulations. Common violations include unkempt landscaping, structural issues, unpermitted construction, and unsafe living conditions. If a property is found in violation, the owner may face fines or legal action if not resolved promptly.
3. How long does the code violation resolution process take?
The timeframe varies depending on the nature of the violation and the complexity of the case. Minor issues can often be resolved within a few weeks, while more serious or structural violations may take longer due to permits or repairs. We aim to expedite the process by coordinating directly with local authorities.
