Obviously they hire exactly what they pay for LAZY inspectors!!! I can’t believe this is what they pay for a full time inspector something doesn’t sound right!!!
“Code enforcement” most likely does not mean “Building Code enforcement.” Usually code enforcement deals with complaints about such things as overgrown weeds, unregistered vehicles, illegal fences, property maintenance, and the like. In many places code enforcement is complaint driven. It would be unusual to have code enforcement officers driving around randomly looking for violations.
There is no way that is the salary for a certified building inspector. Usually the salary of city employees is public record. I bet if you looked up what New Orleans pays building inspectors it would be above what a code enforcement officer makes.
It doesn’t sound right. But my husband put out a general search for certain jobs he was qualified for after an early retirement and this one showed up.
