S&B staff is enforcing the UDC in some Wisconsin municipalitiesOn December 1, 2009, in about 300 Wisconsin communities, Safety and Buildings Division staff began doing the permitting and inspection for construction of new dwellings under Comm 20-25, the Uniform Dwelling Code (one- and two-family dwellings).S&B staff took over the UDC enforcement from inspection agencies that have been under state contract for the UDC enforcement. The change was due to state budget issues, not due to inspection agency performance problems. An updated list of all state municipalities and their current UDC enforcement status is online: http://commerce.wi.gov/SB/docs/SB-UDCMuniStatus.pdf.
