For Property Managers

Under § 4.84.070, the Department of Community Development holds the authority to inspect and enforce compliance with Chapter 4.84 and the applicable property maintenance code. Operators who stay current with any amendments to the Wheeling Municipal Code and the property maintenance code are generally better positioned to maintain compliant properties. Keeping records of maintenance, repairs, and communications with the department is a common practice among operators subject to this enforcement structure.

For Tenants

Section 4.84.070 identifies the Wheeling Department of Community Development as the enforcement body for Chapter 4.84, which means tenants who believe a rental property is out of compliance with the chapter's requirements have a designated agency to contact. Filing a complaint or inquiry with the Department of Community Development is one general path available when conditions may violate the property maintenance code or other provisions of Chapter 4.84. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Wheeling's municipal code can help explain what the enforcement process typically involves.
