Winchester housing code adds 13 exterior 15 interior rules
The Winchester City Code would add 13 exterior and 15 interior housing requirements with owner responsibility for compliance. Inspections depend on complaints to building or plumbing officials, who may seek a judge issued search warrant if probable cause exists. A Residential Building Standards Board of Appeals would review aggrieved decisions, with appeals to circuit court within 15 days.
