Municipal Code Enforcement Office

Municipal Code Enforcement Office

The Building Inspector’s office enforces the Oakland City Code of Ordinances. When a violation is reported, the first action is to investigate and make certain the concern is valid. A letter will then be mailed to the current landowner explaining the Ordinance violation.  A deadline will be issued for correction of the violation. The deadline for most common violation is 10 days.  If for some reason the condition is unable to be corrected in the designated time, please contact our office to work out a reasonable compromise.
