(A) Enforcement. The Building Inspector/Code Administrator, or other designee, shall enforce all provisions of this code relative to the maintenance of structures and premises, except as may otherwise be specifically provided for by other regulations.
(B) Appointment. The Building Inspector/Code Administrator shall be appointed by the Mayor with the advice and consent of the City Council. The Building Inspector/Code Administrator shall serve at the pleasure of the Mayor and City Council. The position of Building Inspector/Code Administrator shall be a salaried position exempt from the requirements of wages and hours laws. In addition, it shall not be covered by any collective bargaining agreement.
(C) Notices and orders. The Building Inspector/Code Administrator shall issue all necessary written notices and orders to abate illegal or unsafe conditions to ensure compliance with the code requirements for the safety, health and general welfare of the public.
(D) Coordination of enforcement. Inspection of premises, the issuance of written notices and orders and enforcement thereof shall be the responsibility of the Building Inspector/Code Administrator so charged by the city. Whenever, in the opinion of a Building Inspector/Code Administrator initiating an inspection under this code, it is deemed necessary or desirable to have inspections by any other department, the Building Inspector/Code Administrator shall make reasonable effort to arrange for the coordination of such inspections so as to minimize the number of visits by inspectors and to confer with the other departments for the purpose of eliminating conflicting orders before any are issued. A department shall not, however, delay the issuance of any emergency order which it determines must be ordered.
