The Code Compliance Division is responsible for performing field inspections of properties to ensure compliance with applicable building, zoning, safety, and nuisance codes and ordinances. Code Compliance Officers conduct both proactive and reactive inspections of property to ensure compliance with these standards. It is the goal of the Code Compliance Division through public education to direct your attention to any existing code violations, which could have a negative impact on your property, neighborhood and the City of Mount Rainier as a whole.
