What type of issues may not constitute a violation and could require court action for resolution?

Civil issues may not constitute a violation of specific codes or ordinances but instead refer to disputes between private parties that are typically addressed in civil court. These issues often involve matters such as property disputes, contracts, or personal injuries, which fall outside the realm of code enforcement violations that an enforcement officer might address.

While citations are directly related to code violations, and policy violations might pertain to breaches of internal policies rather than legal statutes, public complaints can prompt investigations but do not necessarily translate to legal violations. Therefore, civil issues stand out as those requiring formal court action for resolution due to their complex nature and the specific legal framework that governs them.
