Plain English

West Frankfort's Housing Code § 15.28.030 establishes a multi-official body — the housing code enforcement authority — as the entity responsible for administering, interpreting, and enforcing the city's housing ordinance. This authority is not a single inspector or department but a collective composed of several city officials, including the Mayor, the Building and Zoning Administrator, the City Attorney, and heads of fire, public health, waterworks, and community conservation functions. The provision defines who holds institutional responsibility for housing code matters within the city.

For Property Managers

Under § 15.28.030, property owners and managers in West Frankfort should be aware that housing code compliance is overseen by a multi-agency authority rather than a single office. Because the enforcement body includes officials from building and zoning, fire, public health, and other departments, a compliant operator generally maintains properties that meet standards across all of those regulatory domains. Correspondence or inspections related to the housing ordinance may originate from any of the officials named in this section.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Section 15.28.030 identifies the officials who collectively hold authority over West Frankfort's housing code, which means tenants have multiple city offices they may contact when reporting potential violations. Because the authority includes the Building and Zoning Administrator as chairman, as well as fire, public health, and safety officials, a concern about housing conditions may fall within the jurisdiction of more than one named official. Tenants seeking to raise a housing code issue may consider contacting the relevant city department or consulting a local tenant-rights organization to understand which avenue applies to their circumstances.
