Code Enforcement

Harrisville City Code Enforcement Division is responsible for ensuring that local laws and ordinances are followed to maintain the safety, health, and overall quality of life in the community. Here’s an overview of how such a division typically operates:

Process

Complaint Intake

Residents or businesses can file complaints about potential code violations through various channels (phone, online, in-person).

Inspection

Code enforcement officers conduct inspections to verify complaints and identify violations.

Notice of Violation

If a violation is found, a notice is issued to the property owner, detailing the issue and the required corrective actions.

Follow-Up

Officers conduct follow-up inspections to ensure compliance. If violations persist, further enforcement actions, such as fines or legal proceedings, may be taken.
