UNSAFE OR UNHEALTHY CONDITIONS

If you are suffering from a water leak into your unit from the neighbor's unit, or from a part of the building owned by your condominium association, or if you represent a condominium or homeowner association and wish to do something about a member's trash, dilapidated shed, or peeling paint, you should contact the Housing Code Enforcement Unit of the Department of Housing and Community Affairs.This is often the fastest way to resolve such problems.(Complaints can be confidential.)

The Housing Code Enforcement Unit preserves housing and property standards by enforcing Chapters 26, 48, and 58, of the County Code.When the Unit receives a complaint, a Code Inspector will visit the property and can order the owner to make the necessary repairs.

The Division of Housing Code Enforcement can be reached through MC311, Montgomery County's Customer Service Center, by dialing 3-1-1 (calls originating within Montgomery County) or 240-777-0311 (calls originating outside of Montgomery County).
