​Non-Residential Building Code

If commercial buildings are not properly maintained, they can have a negative impact on surrounding neighborhoods and businesses.  

The City of Charlotte's Non-Residential Building Code regulates commercial structures that have structural and safety issues. This code addresses interior, exterior and property maintenance standards.  The code also includes enforcement tools such as repair, vacate or demolition orders and civil penalties against noncompliant property owners.
