Description
 
Inspectors now have a partner in enforcing the property maintenance code! Property Inspector's Guide to Codes, Forms, and Complaints 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 International Property Maintenance Code 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.
From the Preface
The inspiration for the book came about because of my previous experience as an assistant state's attorney. As a prosecutor, I always had a sample complaint book to use whenever I had to draft a criminal indictment. Police officers used the same form book to write criminal complaints. When I began prosecuting municipal ordinances as a village attorney, I realized that property maintenance inspectors had to write the same types of complaints, but without the kind of guidance that police officers and prosecutors took for granted.

As I traveled around the country training inspectors on the legal aspects of code administration for the International Code Council, I became convinced that a book with sample forms, complaints, checklists, and other helpful guides for inspectors could make their job easier and more efficient, and enhance enforcement of the property maintenance code. Municipal attorneys could also benefit from such a book, as they are used to relying on publications for forms which can be adapted to their needs. So, I have written this guide with the hope that it will aid inspectors and prosecutors as they perform their duties to enhance the quality of life in their communities.

All of the scenarios in the forms in this book are fictional along with the addresses. I have used the names of co-workers to make the scenarios realistic, and to honor their contribution to my knowledge about the field of code inspection. They have graciously given me their permission to include them in this book.
