Code Compliance

Neighborhood Services > Code Compliance

The City of Glendale through the Glendale Municipal Code (GMC) requires that minimum standards be maintained related to the health, safety and welfare of community residents. Certified code inspectors regularly visit Glendale’s commercial and residential neighborhoods to investigate violations such as:

Alley & Easement Clean-Up
Appropriate use of city permits
Excessive noise
Illegal and/or oversized signs
Junk, litter, and debris
Parking and storage of abandoned vehicles
Property maintenance issues
(broken windows, deteriorated roofs, hazardous properties, broken plaster, peeling paint)
Stagnant or poorly maintained swimming pools
Unauthorized outdoor storage
Unkempt yards and overgrown weeds
Un-permitted fences
Vacant or abandoned buildings
Wall and Fence Enforcement
Window Replacement

For more details see the Code Standards Brochure.

If violations are found, the property owner will receive a notice identifying those violations and an appropriate time schedule to make repairs. The City also offers low-interest rehabilitation loans to qualified applicants to assist with payment for required repairs.

Maintaining the quality of all housing is an important responsibility of Neighborhood Services. To that end, all rental-housing units are inspected triennially to be sure that they meet minimal standards of habitability.

These minimum standards are uniform throughout the state. Glendale’s Certification program is designed to educate tenants and seek the cooperative response from property owners to keep all of our housing units in good repair. Rental property owners receive advance notice of these scheduled inspections and an adequate time schedule for making any needed repairs.

Neighborhood Services has several brochures that outline the City’s code requirements. To receive copies, place call (818) 548-3700.
