(a) Individuals under 18. If a complaint identifies a multi-dwelling or other dwelling unit regulated under this chapter in which an individual under 18 years of age resides, or is reasonably believed to reside, the dwelling shall be inspected prior to any inspection in response to a nonemergency complaint.
(b) Immediate threats. Inspection frequency may be prioritized for lessee/tenant complaints where the Building Official determines that the nature of the complaint may represent a more immediate threat to the safety and wellbeing of any occupant.
(c) Lessee/tenant complaints. Inspection priority may occur where the origination of the complaint is from the lessee/tenant.
(d) Observed code violations. Inspection priority may occur where the observable conditions from public view, without the aid of binoculars, aircraft or other similar devices, indicate violations which may threaten the safety and wellbeing of any existing or perspective occupant.
(e) Geographic area or nature of residential unit. The Building Official may establish priority for inspection based upon the relative geographic location of units, such that units in one area are inspected and then another geographic area is moved to. The Building Official may further establish priority for inspection based upon the nature of units such that the premises with more or fewer residential units are scheduled for inspection.
