What are administrative sanctions typically a result of?

Administrative sanctions are typically imposed as a result of violations of administrative code. These codes are sets of regulations that govern the actions of individuals and organizations, particularly in relation to government agencies. When an entity fails to comply with these regulations, administrative sanctions serve as a mechanism for enforcement.

Such sanctions can include fines, revocation of licenses, or other penalties designed to ensure adherence to established guidelines. Administrative codes often cover specific areas of public health, safety, environmental standards, and various professional regulations, which makes them pivotal in overseeing compliance in the lead inspection field.

In contrast, violations of civil contracts would fall under civil law, criminal offenses are dealt with under criminal law, and violations of state statutes pertain to legislative laws rather than the specific administrative framework. Thus, the focus on administrative code violations aligns directly with the nature and purpose of administrative sanctions.
