Code Enforcement
The Code Enforcement (CE) team investigates complaints and proactively inspects properties within the City to abate violations of adopted city ordinances, state and federal laws, and international codes. This includes three members dedicated to the investigation of nuisance concerns, insect or rodent harborage, inoperable vehicles and parking, dilapidated structures, rubbish, and debris storage, high grass, and zoning or use concerns. In addition, three team members are dedicated to inspections of over 670 licensed food establishments that include restaurants, grocery and convenience stores, schools, daycares, mobile food units, and flea market vendors. CE Staff are also responsible for plan reviews of all new commercial food establishments and temporary food license applications for special private events and city-sponsored events to ensure the safe and healthy storage, preparation, and serving of food for consumption by the public. PFD's CE Team facilitates the education of the public using numerous tools and technologies in order to foster a foundational understanding of the interpretation and reasoning behind all applicable codes in a non-punitive, mentoring approach within the community.
