Neighborhood Services and Code Compliance uses a team of Code Enforcement Officers to enforce city property maintenance codes and ordinances. The NSCC department is located at 501 E. Church St. in Salisbury, MD.

Contrary to popular belief, the property maintenance code pertains to all buildings located within the corporate limits not just residential structures.  To view the property maintenance code, copy and paste the following link to your browser:  http://www.ci.salisbury.md.us/cityclerk/briefingbook/2011Code/T15.pdf 

Topics covered in the property maintenance code include, but are not limited to;

Interior violations:  life safety, sanitation, equipment, etc.

Exterior violations:  peeling paint, broken windows, rotting wood, etc.

Brush, Weeds and Noxious Growth:  grass 8 inches or higher, over growth, weeds

Untagged or inoperable vehicles:  improperly registered, abandoned, inoperable

The NSCC department also enforces the landlord licensing ordinance.  Any property owner who owns rental property within the city limits of  Salisbury must first obtain a Rental Unit Owners License and then register each property that they own.  This must be done through the NSCC department.  The applications can be downloaded via this web site, completed by the owner or property manager and mailed to NSCC.
