Who we are...

• We actively work with citizens and neighborhood groups to provide public education on Town Code requirements.
• Please contact us if you have any questions or need additional information.
• For your convenience, please Send an Email to report suspected code violations.

Our process...

• Potential violations are discovered through our citizen complaints and referrals from other agencies or departments.
• Once a violation is identified, the responsible party is issued a notice providing reasonable time to correct the issue.
• Periodic follow-up inspections may be conducted to determine if compliance has been met.
• If compliance has not been achieved, additional time may be provided depending on the circumstances and severity of the violation.
• A great deal of emphasis is placed on obtaining voluntary compliance. However, if a responsible party fails or refuses to voluntarily comply with Town Codes,  a civil  or criminal citation may be issued. A general penalty is defined in Town Code Chapter 1.12.010. 

Getting involved...

• We encourage citizen involvement in identifying and reporting code violations. The Code Enforcement Division team is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for the residents of Youngtown.
• Together we can eliminate conditions that contribute to blight and deterioration and have a cleaner, safer and more desirable place to live.
