Code Enforcement

It is the responsibility of the Borough Code Enforcement Office to administer the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code (UCC) adopted by the Borough of Gettysburg in September 2004. All building code ordinances or portions of ordinances adopted before 1999 including the "BOCA Basic Building Code, 1990 Edition" which meet or exceed the requirements of the UCC continue in full force and effect until such time as it fails to meet or exceed the minimum requirements of the UCC.

The Borough of Gettysburg has contracted with Commonwealth Code Inspection Service, Inc. to provide code inspection services. Anyone with code questions or concerns should contact Dale Gettel at codeenforcement@gettysburg-pa.gov

The Code Enforcement Office is also responsible for monitoring property maintenance, solid waste removal and recycling, snow and ice removal from sidewalks, and nuisances such as accumulations of trash and debris, storage of junked or abandoned vehicles, dangerous structures, grass and weeds in excess of 10 inches and items that impact the health, safety and welfare of the residents and visitors of the Borough of Gettysburg.

The Code Enforcement Office also enforces the Regulated Rental Unit Occupancy Ordinance.
