Who is my Neighborhood Code Enforcement Inspector?

Code Enforcement has 12 full time inspectors and 1 part time inspector.  Each full time inspector has an assigned area.
The inspectors are typically available at the start of their shift in the morning (8:00 a.m. to 9:15 a.m.) and at the end of their shift in the afternoon (2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.). 
When they are in the office, they are able to return telephone calls, answer voicemails, and complete other administrative tasks. During the middle of the day the inspectors are in their assigned area.
