I worked directly with contractors to review and approve routine permit requests explicitly related to Denver's Green Buildings Ordinance. I reviewed construction blueprints and site plans, including historical and GIS aerial maps, floor plans, and infrastructure specifications, to ensure compliance with permitting guidelines. I ensured compliance with zoning codes and building standards, including ensuring that forms and applications were complete and accurate while working with customers on compliance issues and researching codes and regulations. I consulted with engineers and other professional and technical experts on more complex permitting requests.As an administrator, I performed various specific administrative activities/projects, participated in the development of long-range and short-term planning initiatives for the functional area, and served as a liaison with other departmental officials, community groups, and other units. I act as a technical expert in Zoning Neighborhood Inspections, providing consultative and technical guidance to managers and other officials/stakeholders, and handle sensitive and confidential issues, complaints, and inquiries. I participated in forming operating policies and procedures, provided advice and interpretative information about policies and procedures, evaluated proposed changes to policies and procedures, including the merit and overall impact of changes to the functional area, and made recommendations. I implemented strategies that ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and policies and established processes and controls to ensure compliance.

I performed difficult inspection work to ensure compliance with city standards and ordinances. I enforced compliance by monitoring and re-inspecting work or violations to ensure compliance with specific zoning ordinances through onsite audits and reviews, and inspections. I investigated and resolved routine complaints regarding zoning and focused primarily on neglected and derelict buildings. I presented information to citizens regarding code violations and issued citations and various summons. I interpreted, adapted, and applied appropriate written guidelines, precedents, and standardized work practices to different problematic situations regarding zoning ordinances. I prepared and maintained detailed inspection reports for assigned projects, including taking photos and videos of the project's violations and progress. I made recommendations to assist citizens and contractors with compliance issues. I assessed and evaluated approved construction and improvement plans for conformance with City standards and guidelines and determined the proper course of action to ensure compliance. I researched standards and ordinances, wrote reports, and maintained records and documents for historical accounts associated with tracking permits, projects, legal actions, and compliance issues. I approved and signed off on Certificates of Occupancy once work was completed. I frequently presented testimony and historical facts regarding code violations in a hearing or court setting. I assisted in developing the policies and procedures for Neglected and Derelict Buildings that are still used

I managed payroll services, appointments. I routinely translated Spanish and English between office staff and maintenance staff to execute daily productivity goals and duties. I implemented and maintained a file database within the central office facility. I coordinated various events, including carnivals, concerts, and firework displays. I maintained professional and amicable relationships with the public and town residents. I established a complex organization system for a marina with over 200 boat slips.
