Who is responsible for enforcing statutory provisions?

The responsibility for enforcing statutory provisions primarily lies with building officials. These professionals are tasked with ensuring that building codes, safety regulations, and other statutory requirements are adhered to in construction projects. Building officials perform inspections, review plans, issue permits, and enforce compliance with local, state, and federal laws related to building and safety standards.

Building officials are skilled in the relevant legal frameworks and have the authority to take necessary actions if they identify non-compliance, thereby safeguarding public health, safety, and welfare. They play a crucial role in the construction process from the planning phase through the completion of a building project, making them the primary enforcement authority for statutory provisions.
