A man contacted us after getting no response to a complaint about his local Chief Building Official. Under the Building Code Act, municipalities are required to have a code of conduct for building officials and inspectors, and process for enforcement, but this municipality did not have a code of conduct in place. After we raised this requirement with the municipality, it developed and posted a code of conduct on its website, along with a complaint process and contact information.
