• The Code Enforcement Division will notify property owner or agent of date and time of inspection.
• If property owner or agent is unable to meet inspector for the scheduled date of inspection, he or she should notify inspection staff at (785)832-3107 to re-schedule inspection.
• Inspector will provide copy of inspection report at the time of inspection. Repairs/corrections are expected to be made within 30 days. Inspector has discretion to shorten or lengthen re-inspection date depending on the nature of violation. Factors to consider are life safety issues and scope of work required.
• It is the responsibility of property owner or agent to contact inspector to schedule the re-inspection if the re-inspection date was not set at the time of initial inspection.
• Failure to make repairs to become code compliant can result in complaint being filed in Municipal Court.
