Code Enforcement – interesting day in the life news article
There is a good article in a local newspaper Florida that outlines the important work of code enforcement officers. Here is a link to the article titled Understanding Code Enforcement, written by reporter, Gavin Wernicki, of the SWVolusia News.
From the article …
First, and probably most obvious function of Code Enforcement, is they are the front line in the battle of controlling blight. It has been said that they are the imaginary line that represents that fence between gated communities and “the rest of the world.”
…
The top ten violations
- Animals at large
- Inoperative motor vehicles
- Motor vehicle parking
- Recreational vehicles parking (boats, watercraft, campers)
- Registration stickers
- Tractor-trailer parking
- Commercial vehicles parking
- Yard maintenance
- Junk, trash and debris in yards
- No permits
Code Enforcement Officers are often times misunderstood as they are affecting people’s lives, livelihoods, and their cultures. When challenged to change, people become defensive. They have a difficult job and seldom fully appreciated, but vital for our community’s health, safety and welfare.
