§ Housing and Neighborhood Services Code Enforcement Division enforces the city’s Non-residential Building Code and the Minimum Housing Code Ordinances, which regulate and provide minimum standards for commercial and residential buildings and ensure the health and safety of the city’s neighborhoods and its residents.
§ Demolition is required when code violations are not corrected.
§ Multiple contracts for demolition services are recommended to ensure adequate and timely demolition resources are available.
§ On February 15, 2024, the city issued a Request for Proposals (RFP); five responses were received.
§ The companies selected best meet the city’s needs in terms of qualifications, experience, cost, and responsiveness to RFP requirements.
