A top priority of the Building and Safety Division is to ensure the health, safety and general welfare of people who work, visit or reside in the City through the enforcement of regulations which protect property and structures. Beginning September 1, 2016, Building & Safety Inspections Staff will be issuing Administrative Citations to ensure timely compliance with Glendale's adopted Codes.
Violations of the Glendale Municipal Code and other City Codes are subject to enforcement through the Administrative Citation process adopted by the Glendale City Council (Ordinance 5801). Violations may be subject to fines ranging from $100 to $2,000 and may be assessed separately for each code violation, each day they exist.
Existing violations which have not been resolved, as well as new violations, may be subject to the Administrative Citation process and associated fines beginning September 1, 2016.
Examples of violations subject to the Administrative Citation process include but are not limited to:
- Construction without obtaining a permit prior to commencing work;
- Construction during unpermitted hours of the day;
- Contractors working without City issued Contractors Business License;
- Lack of trash and debris control facilities.
If you have any questions about administrative citations, please contact the Building & Safety Division at (818) 548-3200.
