DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS

The Code Compliance Department’s mission is to improve public health, welfare and safety through progressive
services that focus 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 provides support to the five operating divisions and consolidates departmental
accounting, budgeting, purchasing, training, and human resource functions. In 2019, the Matrix Staffing Report
found this arrangement and breakout to be a best practice for both function and accountability.

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 investigating citizen complaints specific to trash and debris, junk
vehicles, zoning violations, environmental investigations and high grass and weeds.
