Inspectors now have a partner in enforcing the
property maintenance code! This valuable resource demonstrates how to
prepare the documents required to pursue property maintenance code
violators so that inspectors can perform inspections, file charges in
the absence of compliance, obtain administrative search warrants, and
condemn property “by the book.” Comprehensive coverage clearly shows
the inspector how to enforce the IPMC regulations with sample forms for
every document that the Code requires and sample complaints for every
possible violation. This information will enable inspectors to do their
jobs properly by helping them ensure that they follow the required steps
in enforcement.
Features:
- a sample form is provided for almost every section of the 2006
International Property Maintenance Code® so that vital documents can be
drafted correctly the first time
- use of the forms helps ensure that the inspectors' work will be uniform
and complete, fostering the prevention of costly errors
- listings of the various violations that may occur on residential and
commercial properties are included, as well as tables to assist readers in
understanding the Code
- functional checklists will help inspectors remember key matters so that
their cases will stand up in a court of law
- even if the inspector's municipality does not use the International
Property Maintenance Code®, the provided forms are universal enough to be
adapted for local use
- includes a CD containing PDF files of sample forms, complaints, and
notices (these forms can be printed and changed to adapt to the specifics of
the jurisdiction)
- includes an entire chapter dedicated to Public Nuisances, which will
benefit those jurisdictions that have not adopted the International Property
Maintenance Code because they use these same types of violations found in
the model code
- this book is designed to be used with any version of the IPMC, though
based on the 2006 and 2003 versions
- back-of-book CD included
