October is National Code Enforcement Month!October is National Code Enforcement Month! We wanted to take a moment to recognize our dedicated code enforcement officers, Anthony Howard and Devon Webb, who work tirelessly to ensure that our City stays beautiful – and in compliance.
Devon loves what he does because he enjoys helping people and problem solving. He wants the community to know that his team is working to rebuild the department and find new ways to effectively serve their community.
Being able to respond to public concerns regarding code violations, investigating and solving problems as they arise are some of the things Anthony likes best about his job. As he so aptly states, “We take our job seriously, and we are here as a line of defense to keep the City of Napa beautiful for all residents.”
Learn more about code enforcement, and file a complaint, here: https://www.cityofnapa.org/244/Code-Enforcement-Division
A round of applause to this great team – and give them a wave if you see them around town!
