Austin, TX – This October, the Austin Code Department (ACD) celebrates the annual National Code Compliance Month. During the month ACD welcomes the public to reflect on the work done by the code inspectors who help ensure our collective health and safety.

Code Compliance month is part of a national campaign to raise awareness about how to keep land and buildings safe. A key part of code compliance are the code professionals who throughout the year raise awareness and address potential hazards in the community.

The Austin Code Department maintains a balance between code compliance and code enforcement by identifying dangerous and substandard conditions and implementing programs to ensure a minimum standard is met. The department investigates over 35,000 cases for potential code violations per year throughout the city.

The Code Month education campaign will help raise awareness of the department’s work and how the community can help keep Austin safe. By engaging with the code department’s website and social media, citizens can learn more about code compliance and how they can contribute to the process.

“Every day the department works towards our mission of building a safer and greater Austin together through code education, collaboration, and enforcement,” said ACD Director José G. Roig. “The annual Code Compliance Month gives us and the entire Austin community the chance to celebrate the work we’ve done together to help keep Austin a safe place to call home.”

Austin, TX - Este mes de octubre, el Departamento de Códigos de Austin (ACD) celebra el Mes Nacional de Cumplimiento del Código. Durante el mes, ACD le pide al público a reflexionar sobre el trabajo realizado por los inspectores del código que ayudan a garantizar nuestra salud y seguridad.

El Mes del Cumplimiento del Código es parte de una campaña nacional para crear conciencia sobre cómo mantener seguros los terrenos y los edificios. Una parte clave del cumplimiento del código son los profesionales del código que durante todo el año crean conciencia y abordan los peligros potenciales en la comunidad.

El Departamento de Códigos de Austin mantiene un equilibrio entre el cumplimiento del código y la aplicación del código identificando condiciones peligrosas y deficientes e implementando programas para garantizar que se cumpla con un estándar mínimo. El departamento lleva a cabo más de 75,000 inspecciones por año en toda la ciudad para detectar posibles violaciones del código.

La campaña educativa del Mes del Código ayudará a crear conciencia sobre el trabajo del departamento y cómo la comunidad puede ayudar a mantener la seguridad de Austin. Al interactuar con el sitio web y las redes sociales del departamento de códigos, los residentes pueden aprender más sobre el cumplimiento del código y cómo pueden contribuir al proceso.

“Todos los días, el departamento trabaja para lograr nuestra misión de construir juntos un Austin más seguro y mejor a través de la educación, la colaboración y el cumplimiento del código,” dijo el director de ACD, José G. Roig. "El Mes anual del Cumplimiento del Código nos brinda a nosotros y a toda la comunidad de Austin la oportunidad de celebrar el trabajo que hemos hecho juntos para ayudar a que Austin sea una ciudad segura".
