These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 8 parts and 62 topics.
You're standing in front of a house with a sagging porch, a leaning chimney and a cracked foundation wall. The owner is on the steps, asking what exactly is wrong.
You know the code has a list of potentially unsafe exterior conditions. But in the code book it's one long run of items with nothing to hold onto, and on the sidewalk you can't come up with more than three of them.
In the book, that same section is one page: §304.1.1 drawn as one building, with the 12 conditions marked on it, from the foundation to the roof, plus a note on whether the repair falls under the IEBC, the IRC or the IBC.
Same with handrails and guards, emergency escape openings, smoke alarms, the occupancy table and the notice of violation: each one has its own page.
So you walk the house, you name what you see, and when the owner's attorney asks why you cited that section, you can picture the page it's on.
8 parts, in the order you walk a property: I. How the code works · II. Exterior property · III. Exterior structure · IV. Interior, light and occupancy · V. Plumbing, heat and electrical · VI. Fire safety and egress · VII. Entry, notices and hearings · VIII. Practice and review. 66 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
It's January. A tenant calls about no heat, the landlord is on the phone, and you're in the unit with a thermometer, needing to know where to hold it and what number counts.
In the book you open the heat page and see the room drawn with the thermometer in the right spot and 68°F in a box, plus a reminder to check the number your city adopted.
Same with egress windows, a deck with no guard, the occupancy table, where smoke alarms go and the parts of a notice of violation: each one on its own page.
Code Enforcement Illustrated is 8 parts and 62 topics, all drawn, and it ends with a full rental walkthrough, all the numbers on one page and a final checklist.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
The model code vs. your city's code, the blanks your city fills in, the chapter map, owner vs. occupant, the key definitions, your powers and limits, and the 5-stop route.

The master list of unsafe exterior conditions, peeling paint, address numbers, foundations and walls, roofs and chimneys, stairs and decks, handrails and guards, windows, doors and screens, building security.
Interior surfaces, unsafe components, garbage and pests, natural light, ventilation, room width and ceiling height, bedrooms, the occupancy table with a worked example, and efficiency units.

Yes. It isn't a beginner's intro. Keep your code book for the exact wording: this gives you the map. Each section is drawn on one page, in the order you walk a property, with the numbers in a box, so you can review fast, fill the gaps and check a section before you write the notice.
From the 2024 model edition of the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), published by the ICC, and every value is cross-checked against it. Your exam bulletin tells you which edition your exam uses, and your city may enforce an earlier edition or local amendments. That's why Part 1 shows you the blanks each city fills in and where to find your city's version, and the book flags the numbers cities often change so you can check them against your own code.
No. It's independent study material, not published by or affiliated with ICC, AACE or any exam body, and it doesn't come with a certificate or continuing education credits. It doesn't reproduce the code text: it explains it with its own words and drawings.
No. It's a study and review aid. It doesn't replace the training your city requires, the adopted code you enforce or legal advice from your city attorney.
No. They're exam-style questions written for this book, not official exam questions. Each answer points to the page where the topic is drawn.
