[¶ 22] The ability to prioritize reinspec-tions according to the seriousness of the violation is essential to the effective enforcement of the Housing Code. In implementing and enforcing the Code, the DIS allows the inspectors to determine the priority of reinspections. Neither the Housing Code nor DIS gave any guidance on how to allocate the time for those reinspec-tions. The inspectors make these determinations based on their training, education, and experience. Contrary to the results of inspections of other more dangerous buildings, the initial exterior inspection of the building in this case revealed no “life safety code violations.”
