The City of Pasco Code Division strives to gain voluntary compliance through communication, outreach and education. Voluntary Compliance Agreements are used to provide up to 90 days for compliance with certain codes and situations. This may include issues such as landscaping and cases entailing corrective action which is large scale/high cost, with the understanding the property will be maintained free of any other code violations during the agreement period. During the month of March Inspection Services staff again attended school conferences at Stevens Middle School presenting information on business licensing, building permits, inspections, rental licensing and municipal codes. Code Division staff attended a virtual training provided through membership with the Washington Association of Code Enforcement. The training focused on 4th Amendment right to entry and inspection. Code Officers were provided with information pertaining to property owner rights to privacy, review of the Plain View Doctrine allowing for inspections from the public rights of way, providing property owners and occupants their option to allow or deny access and general consent requirements to enter a rented space. This is an important topic pertaining to citizen rights. As such, refresher training is sought out annually. The Code Division staff worked with the Pasco High School PPD Resource Officer to assist a family experiencing electrical issues in a Manufactured Home Park. The issues caused electrical service to be disconnected by PUD & L&I due to the unsafe conditions and high potential for a fire. Staff worked with all involved agencies to ensure the issues were corrected appropriately and timely. Staff was able to provide the family of four with temporary lodging at a local hotel for several nights until they were able to move back home safely. A vehicle vs. house incident prompted response from Police, Fire and Inspection Services. After removal of the vehicle and clearing of the scene, Inspection Services staff worked with the rental property owner to ensure the site was secured from entry and the renters were provided with alternative housing. A tenant was left without a walker due to the incident. Thanks to our relationship with the Fire Department, the PRN was able to provide the tenant with a loaner walker the same day. Staff worked with the property owner and family of a fire damaged structure at 502 S 22nd Ave to gain voluntary approval for a city abatement to demolish the damaged structure. This has long been a nuisance site for Police, Fire and Code due to activity. As such, the dangerous structure was breached numerous times since the fire occurred on 3/11/2024 prompting additional responses and action from departments. The contractor started demolition on 3/29/2024 with the project expected to be completed the first week of April.
