The Enforcement Program promotes building safety by ensuring businesses and individuals that work in specific construction trades comply with Oregon building code statutes, rules, and specialty codes. This includes ensuring businesses and individuals have the appropriate licenses to perform the work.
Any individual can file a complaint, or report an alleged violation, regarding a business or individual. The program reviews the issues presented and determines if further investigation from the Building Codes Division is warranted. An investigator may be assigned and, if warranted, the program may recommend licensing actions, civil penalties, or both.
