DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS

The Code Compliance Department’s mission is to improve public health, welfare, and safety through progressive
services focusing on education, prevention, compliance, and community partnerships. This mission is
accomplished through six divisions: Administration, Code Enforcement, Environmental Health Services, Animal
Welfare, Solid Waste Services, and Environmental Protection.

The Administration Division supports the five operating divisions and consolidates departmental accounting,
budgeting, purchasing, training, and human resource functions. In 2019 the Matrix Staffing Report found this

The Code Enforcement Division includes the Building Standards and Neighborhood Investigations Sections.
Building Standards investigates substandard housing issues, manages the multifamily registration and inspection
program, and facilitates the activities of the Building Standards Commission. Neighborhood Investigations provide
neighborhood code enforcement, including investigation of citizen complaints specific to trash and debris, junk
vehicles, zoning violations, environmental investigations, and high grass and weeds.

The Environmental Health Services Division include Consumer Health, Mosquito Disease Surveillance & Response
(Vectors), and Commercial Code Compliance/Game Room sections. Consumer Health issues health permits,
