Housing Code Enforcement as Law in Action

This document presents a description and analysis of housing codes and the enterprise of enforcing them. The origin of cases, the roles of complainants, inspectors, supervisors, and others in their processing, as well as the outcomes, are explored. Housing code enforcement produces law in action which, as with other similar enterprises, is simplified and liberal compared with the formal rules, and which contains a variety of formally arbitrary outcomes
