If code enforcement red-tagged your house, you can't go back in until you make the repairs mentioned on the complaint.

"Red tagged" usually means that some condition on the property or the condition of the structure of your house makes it unsafe to occupy. This could be exposed wiring, structural defects, or so much garbage piled up that it has become a health hazard. The code enforcement officer can tell you what the minimum repairs are needed so you can live in it again.

As for "getting around the red tag": that's not a wise idea. Depending on where you live, getting caught back inside a red-tagged house can get you a misdemeanor arrest. Do what they tell you and fix your house.

hmmm... I'm not sure exactly what you are asking... are you asking about Code-enforcement? and Code-Compliance? and how to get around the red-tape?

depends upon what country you are talking about.. also what code? Is the code city? county? state? or is it a covenant for a neighborhood?

sometimes you can file for a variance to the code with the government that enforces the code you need to have changed... depending upon what you need.. it may or may not get changed or you may not get a variance... if the government thinks it is not in their interest.

There are cases of people losing their property due to code violations... as with covenants.. which are a binding contract for anyone owning the land... and most of them provide for a foreclosure procedure if you violate the covenant.
