The Code Enforcement Unit is staffed by two code enforcement supervisors and four code enforcement officers. They are responsible for the enforcement of all El Monte Municipal Codes and certain state laws that pertain to code enforcement.

This unit receives and investigates all complaints regarding alleged property maintenance violations, zoning violations, private property parking violations, licensing, and permit compliance issues.

In order to accomplish this task, the City Council has established a comprehensive code enforcement program that provides inspection and enforcement services seven days a week.
