A resident said contractors are backed up after the storms and asked why code enforcement continues issuing repair tickets. Mayor Tom acknowledged the city has thousands of open code cases and that inspectors oversee a wide range of issues. He urged anyone who believes they were treated unfairly to call the mayor’s office at 853-6302 for follow-up.
"If you feel you're being treated unfairly by a code enforcement officer, I want you to call the mayor's office and leave a message for me, and we'll follow it up for you," the mayor said. He described a typical follow-up process—forwarding complaints to supervisors and asking for clarification—without committing to specific enforcement moratoriums tied to the storm.
