Senior Code Enforcement Officer

The Senior Code Enforcement Officer is the advanced/lead journey level classification in the Code Enforcement Officer series. Incumbents are expected to independently perform the more complex inspection and code enforcement responsibilities involving codes and regulations in a broad range of areas, including zoning, building, housing, parking citations, vehicle abatement, health, and safety.
