The City employs a quadrant work management system (see quadrant map) that has a team leader, senior inspector and a compliment of inspectors to enforce codes that improve and enhance the quality of life in Norfolk neighborhoods.

A special abatement team to address City-wide building and nuisance code violations is also in place to respond to issues related to:

• Demolitions
• Vacant buildings
• Dangerous trash & debris accumulations
• Graffiti removal
• High weeds & grass
• Boarding/securing open structures

 

 

Additionally, staff coordinates inspection activity with other City departments (i.e. Health, Public Works and Planning's Zoning, Environmental, and Building and Construction Services divisions) as well as state and federal agencies to ensure compliance with applicable codes.
