Code compliance officers may be responsible for visiting buildings prior to their construction to verify that the plans meet code standards. During construction, another officer may focus on structural integrity and fire safety. Other officers may examine the electrical components of the building, such as the wiring, lighting, air conditioning, and appliances. Similarly, the plumbing used either for drinking water or for waste disposal, must meet certain regulations.
In commercial locations, code compliance might include the inspection of elevators or escalators. In dealing with public work projects like highways, bridges, or dams, compliance must be in strict accordance with local, state, and federal codes.
Compliance officers conduct their jobs primarily through visual inspection, but they may also use equipment like survey instruments or tape measures. They must document all of their findings with both photographs and written reports; therefore, code compliance officers must be proficient to use computer and business applications. This requirement is non-negotiable.
When problems arise, compliance officers contact the appropriate party and allow time for alterations to achieve minimum code standards. If codes are not met within the time allotted, a stop-work order is issued that halts the project until codes are met. The officer must approve the work before construction can begin again.
Any lawful tasks as director by borough management.
