What Are Code Violations and Criminal Defense?

Code violation refers to the situation where a person does not obey the rules set by the local administration. The purpose of such rules is that the society is safe and healthy. A few examples of code violations can be inferred as follows:

  • Unsafe building conditions
  • Violations to zoning laws
  • Health code violation
  • Environmental law violations

Sometimes, especially when accused of code violation, it may be brought to criminal charges. Code violations are not just civil in nature; most cases could be brought out as a criminal matter. Local and state governments enforce strict rules to ensure orderly conduct of safety and health in communities. That is the point where one might need a criminal defense attorney.
