The
fundamental reason this classification exists is to inspect residential and
commercial structures and lots for compliance with the International Property
Maintenance Code, ordinances, and related regulations and requirements.
Employees in this class perform entry‑level work in enforcing City codes
related to deteriorated structures, unsanitary conditions, and other property
maintenance issues affecting public health and safety. Employees receive
training and perform routine inspections with guidance from higher‑level
inspectors when cases involve complex conditions or enforcement actions. The
work responsibilities include conducting basic interior and exterior
inspections, reviewing lots and parcels for routine compliance issues,
documenting violations, and assisting with preliminary steps related to
nuisance or weed abatement. Employees may support higher‑level inspectors by
gathering information, preparing inspection notes, and accompanying them on
more difficult cases. Additional duties may be assigned as part of ongoing
development. Work is reviewed for accuracy, completeness, and adherence to
departmental standards by the Assistant Chief Property Maintenance Inspector or
a higher-level inspector. This position reports to the Assistant Chief Property
Maintenance Inspector.
