The City of Newark is hiring a Community Preservation Specialist I/II. This role is essential to protecting the health, safety, and quality of life in our community. Working under general supervision, the Specialist enforces City codes related to health and safety, nuisance abatement, housing, and zoning. The position combines investigative work with public education and involves frequent interaction with property owners, businesses, community organizations, and residents.

Community Preservation Specialist II is a journey-level role responsible for performing the full range of duties independently, with judgment and initiative. Incumbents receive minimal supervision, are fully knowledgeable of unit procedures and policies, provide training and technical support to Community Preservation Specialist I staff, and may serve in a lead role over entry-level personnel.

In these positions, you will:

• Advise property owners, businesses, and residents on City code requirements and compliance.

• Educates the public and professional groups on code regulations to encourage voluntary compliance.

• Investigates complaints from City staff, the public, and officials regarding zoning or nuisance issues such as signs, fences, rental housing, home occupations, vehicle storage, trash accumulation, noise, and odors.

• Conducts field inspections to ensure compliance, providing clear guidance on corrective actions when necessary.

• Prepares notices, correspondence, and detailed reports documenting investigations.

• Represents the City in court proceedings, hearings, and other official forums.
