Violations
The Violations Section of the Building Department serves to ensure that communities are safe by identifying construction that is done without permits. Work done without permits may jeopardize life safety due to faulty electrical work, poor construction, blocked exits, etc. This section also safeguards the public by enforcing certification of buildings over 40 years old making sure they are safe to live in.
