Title
Enacting a New Toledo Municipal Code Chapter 140, Department of Building and Code Compliance; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This Ordinance enacts a new Toledo Municipal Code ("TMC") Chapter 140, Department of Building and Code Compliance, which combines the duties of the divisions of Inspection and Code Enforcement. Inspection was put under the Department of Economic Development in 2015 (see Ord. 118-15), with Code Enforcement moved under the Department of Neighborhoods in 2014 (see Ord. 482-14). This Ordinance reestablishes Building Inspection and most of the functions of the Division of Code Compliance as a separate combined department linking the related expertise and functions. (For repeal of previous provisions see separate legislation amending TMC Ch. 135 and 136.)
