The City of Glendale through the Glendale Municipal Code (GMC) requires that minimum standards be maintained related to the health, safety and welfare of community residents. Certified code inspectors regularly visit Glendale’s commercial and residential neighborhoods to investigate violations such as:
- Alley & Easement Clean-Up
- Appropriate use of city permits
- Excessive noise
- Illegal and/or oversized signs
- Junk, litter, and debris
- Parking and storage of abandoned vehicles
- Property maintenance issues
(broken windows, deteriorated roofs, hazardous properties, broken plaster, peeling paint)
- Stagnant or poorly maintained swimming pools
- Unauthorized outdoor storage
- Unkempt yards and overgrown weeds
- Un-permitted fences
- Vacant or abandoned buildings
- Wall and Fence Enforcement
- Window Replacement
For more details see the Code Standards Brochure.
If violations are found, the property owner will receive a notice identifying those violations and an appropriate time schedule to make repairs. The City also offers low-interest rehabilitation loans to qualified applicants to assist with payment for required repairs.

Maintaining the quality of all housing is an important responsibility of Neighborhood Services. To that end, all rental-housing units are inspected triennially to be sure that they meet minimal standards of habitability.
These minimum standards are uniform throughout the state. Glendale’s Certification program is designed to educate tenants and seek the cooperative response from property owners to keep all of our housing units in good repair. Rental property owners receive advance notice of these scheduled inspections and an adequate time schedule for making any needed repairs.
