SDL Field and Mobile — Code Enforcement Module

The Code Enforcement module in SDL Field is primarily used for Certificate Applications and Rental Inspections. From the module home screen, inspectors have access to Complaints, Calendar, Property Search, Inspections, New Inspection, Inspection Reports, Online Forms, and Statutes. The shared features are covered in their own KB articles. This article covers what is specific to Code Enforcement.

Inspections

Code Enforcement inspections are most commonly used for Certificate Applications and Rental Inspections. Each inspection has four tabs: General, Violations, Attachments, and Checklists.

The General tab displays the property information, inspection details including the Result type and Inspection Type, and a signature field.

The Violations tab shows any violations associated with the inspection. To add a new violation, tap the plus (+) icon within the Violations tab. From the violation record, you can tie it to a specific statute and issue a summons directly from that record if needed.

The Attachments tab allows you to attach photos to the inspection by selecting from your Gallery or using the Camera to take a new photo on the spot.

The Checklists tab displays any checklists that have been created and tied to inspections in SDL Desktop.

Statutes

The Statutes tile in Code Enforcement provides quick field access to local ordinances and statutes that have been uploaded into SDL Desktop. You can search by title or statute number to find what you need, and statutes can be associated directly with a violation while completing an inspection.
