Ordinance Enforcement and Prosecution

For a wide range of enforcement issues, we’re standing by and ready to help.

Ensuring compliance with local ordinances is essential to maintaining a high quality of life and preserving the health, safety and welfare of a community. We routinely work with local code enforcement officers, zoning administrators, building officials and other local law enforcement authorities to develop efficient ordinance enforcement policies and procedures and prosecute violations on behalf of our municipal clients.

Whether it be through civil “declaratory judgment” lawsuits in Circuit Court, penal proceedings in the local District Court, or municipal civil infraction proceedings, our attorneys can assist with effectively addressing and abating issues such as:

• Blight and dangerous structures
• Abandoned/junk vehicles
• Excessive noise violations
• Property maintenance violations
• Building code violations
• Illegal signs
• Zoning violations
