Declaration of Purpose
San Diego Municipal Code § 12.0101
in effect§12.0101 Declaration of Purpose
The Council finds that the enforcement of the Municipal Code and applicable state codes throughout the City is an important public service. Code Enforcement is vital to protection of the public’s health, safety and quality of life. The Council recognizes that enforcement starts with the drafting of precise regulations that can be effectively applied in administrative enforcement hearings and judicial proceedings. The Council further finds that a comprehensive code enforcement system that uses a combination of judicial and administrative remedies is critical to gain compliance with code regulations. Failure to comply with an administrative code enforcement action may require the City Attorney to file a judicial action to gain compliance.
