A code enforcement officer investigates alleged violations of codes. This may include local ordinances, state building and fire codes, depending on the officer's training and job description.
When a violation is found, the officer's duty is to advise the violator and let them know what they need to do to correct the violation, allowing a reasonable time to do so.
Depending upon the jurisdiction, if correction does not take place within the allotted time, a fine may be imposed through a Special Magistrate or Code Enforcement Board hearing. Some cities issue citations imposing an immediate fine for certain local ordinances like illegal parking.
Much of the investigations are complaint-based but most jurisdictions require officers to pursue correction on violations that are apparent even if there is no complaint.
