Make a visible impact in your community while building a meaningful public service career. The City of Lincoln is seeking motivated and service-oriented individuals to join our team as a Code Enforcement Officer I/II within the City Manager’s Office. In this role, you will work directly with residents, businesses, and community partners to help maintain safe, healthy, and well-kept neighborhoods throughout the City.

• Code Enforcement Officer I: $4,767.69-$6,389.16

DEFINITION

Under general supervision, the Code Enforcement Officer I/II will perform residential, commercial and industrial site inspections and investigations to determine compliance with applicable federal, state and local codes, laws and regulations; performs other related duties as required.

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

The Code Enforcement Officer I
The Code Enforcement Officer I is the entry level class in the code enforcement series that allows the incumbent to develop journey level knowledge and abilities. Initially, under immediate supervision, incumbents perform the more routine and less complex code enforcement assignments while learning City policies and procedures. As experience is gained, there is greater independence of action within established guidelines. This classification is alternatively staffed with Code Enforcement II and incumbents may advance to the higher level after gaining experience and demonstrating a level of proficiency that meets the qualifications of the higher-level class.

The Code Enforcement Officer II
The Code Enforcement Officer II is the journey level class in which incumbents are expected to independently perform the full scope of assigned duties. Incumbents are responsible for performing the full range of inspection and code enforcement responsibilities involving codes and regulations in a broad range of areas, including zoning, building, fire, health and safety. The work requires independence and discretion in working with the public and in conducting field inspections and involves a proactive implementation of applicable codes and regulations. This classification is distinguished from the Building Inspector class by the performance of duties primarily related to zoning and code violations.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED/EXERCISED

The Code Enforcement Officer I
The Code Enforcement Officer I receives immediate supervision from the City Manager. Incumbents of this classification do not routinely exercise supervision.

The Code Enforcement Officer II
The Code Enforcement Officer II receives general supervision from the City Manager and may exercise technical and functional supervision over assigned staff.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS     (Include but are not limited to the following)

• Performs residential, commercial, industrial and site inspections; determines existence and type of code violation; compiles, analyzes and evaluates findings of investigations and inspections; coordinates with property owners or their representatives and other regulatory agencies to take corrective action; performs follow-up inspections and investigation as required; ensures compliance with all applicable municipal codes and regulations; issues administrative citations for non-compliance.
• Interprets, applies and explains applicable municipal codes, zoning ordinances, building codes, vehicle codes, state housing, health and safety codes, relocation regulations, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) administrative requirements and other related laws, codes and regulations; advises property owners on the requirements for compliance; explains processes and procedures for obtaining compliance or appropriate permits.
• Maintains clear, concise and comprehensive records and reports related to enforcement activities; composes and types correspondence, reports, forms and specialized documents; maintains communication/action logs for code enforcement cases; enters and retrieves information from automated records systems; prepares notices of violation and orders.
