Camden County Inspection Context

Camden County runs from distressed urban stock in Camden City to suburban Cherry Hill. Camden City's row houses and twins include some of the most deteriorated fire escapes in the state.

Camden City enforcement often arrives when long-vacant buildings return to service — re-occupancy is the trigger to expect.
