The Building Department is charged with the administration and enforcement of this Property Maintenance Code and the executive official in charge thereof shall be the Building Commissioner.
Where the intent or enforcement of this Code is frustrated by the inability of the Building Commissioner, after exercising reasonable due diligence, to locate or identify an owner or occupier of any structure or premises within the City and there is reasonable suspicion to believe that a violation of this Code exists, the Building Commissioner may refer the matter to the Division of Police for further investigation and/or enforcement of misdemeanor violations.
The Building Commissioner may designate any qualified City employee or qualified agent of the City providing code enforcement services to the City under an authorized contract, to administer the duties that are assigned to the Building Commissioner by this code.
