City Codes are a collection of regulations and rules of conduct and procedure, according to Webster.
Most municipalities set up these rules with the expectation that they will help the citizenry to keep their city attractive to the general population; keeping junk off of properties, for example, or requiring that certain properties can only be used for specific purposes so that people who live in a residential area are not subjected to the noise or odors of an airport or a factory with its smoke.
Of course, if all people behaved as the general population liked, there would be no need for city codes. Because they don't, Municipal Code Enforcement Boards have been established and a Code Enforcement Officer is named to advise the citizenry when it is violating the City Code.
This is Code Enforcement.
