Code Enforcement is responsible for the enforcement of the Health and Sanitation Ordinances for the City of North Charleston. We work to educate and encourage the citizens of North Charleston to maintain a neat and clean appearance of the property where they live. Last year alone we mailed out 10,480 notices. Under the administration of Mayor Keith Summey, 913 structures were removed throughout the City with our Demolition Program.

Our office can also enforce our Chapter 9 ordinances in the County areas within the cooperate limits of the City of North Charleston. This was accomplished by the mutual agreement signing by the Charleston County Council and the North Charleston City Council.

Over the years Code Enforcement has worked close with other departments to "clean the City streets". This effort has been called many names. Finally a sensible name has been found: Neighborhood Enhancement Team, or as we call it N.E.T. This Team is made of several different City departments and other outside assistant type agencies.
