Code Enforcement services provided by the City of West Allis include the Property Maintenance Inspection Program and a Complaint/Referral program.

Property Maintenance Inspection Program

Beginning in 2001, the Property Maintenance Inspection Program instituted a proactive, rather than reactive, code enforcement area for exterior property maintenance through scheduled inspections of specific areas of the City. This program is funded with Community Development Block Grant funds and is overseen by the Director of the Code Enforcement department.
