The teams are represented 15 county agencies, with zoning, building, fire and health code inspectors. The inspectors are supported by police officers, sheriff's deputies, lawyers and others.
The teams first seek voluntary compliance but are authorized to pursue criminal or civil actions to stop landlords who are profiting from "systematically violating zoning, building and safety ordinances," according to the county's Office of Public Affairs.

If this is true, it's a big story. They need to be positively identified, and their voter registrations...
Illegal? Don't you mean 'undocumented'? Like calling a burglar an 'uninvited houseguest'.
