The purpose of the Code Enforcement Office is to investigate violations relating to health, safety, nuisances, housing, and zoning.
The Code Enforcement Office addresses compliance problems associated with Code, statute and ordinance violations. Enforcement generally involves Building Code, Life Safety, Shoreland Zoning, Zoning Ordinance and City of Gardiner Code violations.
Upon notification of an alleged violation, the Code Enforcement Office determines the necessary actions for resolution. These actions include determining if a warning notice or immediate inspection is needed, and if a State Official or Public Safety should inspect the site.
