21-Code Enforcement - 2021Code Enforcement
Purpose:
The Code Enforcement Division provides the City of Atlantic Beach with certified professional services for the enforcement of adopted Ordinances and State of Florida regulations relating
to the health, safety and welfare of its citizens. The department is created to enhance community revitalization through the enforcement of minimum property standards. The program also
effectively protects the socio-economic and physical environment within well established neighborhoods through consistent enforcement.
Key Objectives:
Continue participation in the Mayport Road corridor project. The division is working with the Community Oriented Policing (COPS) Unit in an effort to revitalize the Royal Palms area
as a part of the City strategic planning goals.
To continue educating the public via the City website and brochures with information related to the code enforcement process.
To implement technology improvements and updates, including code enforcement tracking software for complaint cases which will allow for more effective and efficient code enforcement.
To provide enforcement process training for other City departments to allow expansion of code enforcement throughout the City workforce. This is in an effort to improve the ability of
other departments to assist with the enforcement process.
Issues, Trends and Highlights:
Code Enforcement will be transitioning to One Solution online system in fall of 2014. This will streamline the code complaint system and enable more efficient use of staff time.
Code Enforcement Officer will have laptop in car starting in FY 2014-2015, which will enable more work to be conducted in the field. This will save staff time and reduce city car usage,
as staff will not have to visit city hall as frequently.
Emphasis will continue to be placed on improving the conditions and maintenance of properties in the Royal Palms, Fairway Villas and Aquatic Gardens neighborhoods.
