Maine Township is proud to recognize October as National Code Compliance Month!
Code Enforcement Officers ensure safety and welfare for everyday citizens in every community in the United States. They are bound to enforce local codes and ordinances related to zoning, building and housing code.
In 1997 Maine Township implemented a new state law providing for a township code enforcement officer. The landmark legislation was sponsored at the request of our township!
The new law granted Maine Township the authority to enforce property maintenance, and garbage and parking ordinances, something it previously could not do.
In Maine Township currently, our dedicated Code Enforcement Department has the authority to enforce various regulations in our unincorporated area such as property maintenance, garbage, parking ordinances, vehicle storage, exterior maintenance, accessory building and materials, vegetation, driveways and walkways, infestation and extermination, parkways, and snow removal.
In honor of National Code Compliance Month, Maine Township recognizes and calls on other units of government, especially Townships to recognize the importance the code enforcement officers have in serving our community.
If you are concerned that township codes are not being obeyed, you may report your concern to the Code Enforcement office. You do not need to provide your name and all communications will be kept confidential. Please make your complaint by calling 847-297-2510, emailing nghazaleh@mainetown.com, or by writing a letter addressed to:
Nader Ghazaleh
Maine Township Code Enforcement Office
