The Building Inspections / Code Services division of the Public Works Department continued to focus on enhancing the image and beauty of Duncanville by upholding city ordinances and assisting those not in compliance with city codes to become compliant. In an effort to educate our community about city codes and ordinances, the Building Inspections and Code Services areas spoke to neighborhood associations regarding code enforcement issues.

During the Budget Year, 1,613 building inspections and 23,248 code enforcement inspections were made with 302 citations issued. This equates to approximately 50 inspections per day, per inspector. Since April 1, 2000, 91 junked vehicles have been labeled under the new junk vehicle program. Of the 91 labeled, 70 vehicles were removed without issuing notices saving the city at least $506.43 over six months (postage, clerical, code enforcement, and court expense savings are unknown).

In addition to the above, the building inspections / code enforcement areas have implemented a number of new ordinances like the new accessory building ordinance, parking ordinance, program for processing junk vehicles, and new storage ordinance for residential and non-residential. A number of businesses have also come into compliance with codes and ordinances during the 1999-2000 year due to the departments’ efforts. The initiation
of weekend code enforcement activity has also assisted
in maintaining a beautiful city. Overall, this division is working hard to provide positive code services to the City of Duncanville.
