Effective February 9, 2011
The Building and Planning Department will begin implementation of the
2009 International Property Maintenance Code.



The 2009 International Property Maintenance Code provides requirements for continued use and maintenance of plumbing, mechanical, electrical and fire protection systems in existing residential and nonresidential structures. It regulates and governs the conditions and maintenance of all property, buildings and structures, and provides standards for conditions essential to ensure that structures are safe, sanitary and fit for occupation and use. Key components of the 2009 International Property Maintenance Code are providing a safe means of egress, preventing hazardous structural conditions, and reducing health hazards. It also provides regulations governing the condemnation of buildings and structures unfit for human occupancy and use, and the demolition of such existing structures. Prior to the adoption of the 2009 Code, Building and Planning was utilizing the 2006 International Property Maintenance Code which had been the most current version of the Code.
