TOWN OF MANSFIELD HOUSING CODE The Town of Mansfield adopted the provisions of the 2003 International Property Maintenance Code to regulate and control the maintenance of residential rental dwelling units within the town. The Department of Building and Housing Inspection ensures compliance by conducting inspections every two years. However, the office will respond to complaints by tenants. If your property manager refuses to make repairs, you can contact the Housing Inspection Office to file a complaint. If the inspector determines the problem is a violation of the housing code, the Town of Mansfield will ensure it is corrected. Students do have just as much a right to file a Fair Housing Complaint. This form can be found online through the Department of Building and Housing Inspection and all complaints should be filed with the Mansfield Department of Human Services. For all questions regarding housing in the Town of Mansfield please contact the Department of Building and Housing Inspection.
