Job Description

About the Code Enforcement Team

The team is a collaborative and dynamic group of six attorneys, one legal assistant, and two legal secretaries. The team investigates and civilly prosecutes property owners and businesses that violate local and state codes, or who are otherwise misusing their property to endanger public health and safety. Team members direct investigation into cases and handle all phases of litigation. Representative lawsuits have addressed unpermitted construction, substandard housing, blight, health hazards, affordable housing fraud, and unlawful business practices such as the operation of illicit gambling dens and brothels. Team members also are responsible for Gun Violence Restraining Order and Workplace Violence Restraining Order.

Deputy City Attorney Position and Responsibilities

Attorneys on the Team use the legal tools under state and local laws to address public nuisance issues and other unlawful conduct in the City, working with Office investigators, individuals and groups from the community, City agencies, and other government entities. Each attorney is assigned two police districts within the City, where the attorney has primary responsibility for monitoring, investigating, and abating public nuisance issues. Attorneys are expected to attend community events in their districts, which may be outside of regular business hours. Attorneys promote communication across City departments and with outside agencies to ensure a coordinated response to illegal conduct. During investigations, attorneys analyze potentially applicable regulations and advise City departments about Fourth Amendment law as well as the use of warrants, subpoenas, and emergency orders. Attorneys manage cases from pre-litigation investigation and demands, through civil case filing, settlement evaluation, discovery, trial, and appeal.
