CODE
COMPLIANCE
INSPECTOR
(COST OVER 2 YEARS)
To maintain a safe and enjoyable place to live, work and play, CED has
requested one (1) full time Code Compliance Inspector to support Code
Compliance efforts and build a program that will address code violations
proactively.
•The program ensures public safety, health, and welfare for those who live
and work in the City of Renton by working with the homeowner, business
owner or property owner to abate violations of the City of Renton
Municipal Code.
•Code Compliance activities investigate violations of the Renton Municipal
Code such as landscape, illegal dumping, signs, junk vehicles, fences and
construction without a permit.
•When a violation is verified the property owner is contacted by a Code
Compliance Inspector to explain and abate the violation.
•Enforcement responsibilities required by the new Healthy Housing
program will stretch enforcement activities beyond the ability of current
Code Compliance staff. Additional resources will help to provide this
critical program the support it needs.
