DBI reports modest revenue dip, rising salary costs and September code‑enforcement figures
Summary
Deputy Director Tyrus Madison said September year‑to‑date revenues were slightly below the exceptional prior fiscal year (with premium plan review revenue down about $500,000), expenditures up slightly due to salaries and hiring, and DBI presented September code‑enforcement metrics including 5,054 building inspections and 1,138 housing inspections.
Deputy Director Tyrus Madison presented DBI’s September 2016 year‑to‑date financial report and department code‑enforcement statistics at the Oct. 19 meeting. He said revenues were slightly lower than the previous fiscal year, which had been a banner year, and flagged a roughly $500,000 reduction in premium plan‑review revenue year‑over‑year. Expenditures were modestly higher, primarily from hiring and salary costs as new staff come on board; the first quarter data were characterized as preliminary.
Separately, Deputy Director Daniel Lawrie gave DBI’s code‑enforcement monthly update for September: 5,054 building inspections performed, 343 complaints received and 264 complaints responded to within 24–72 hours; in housing inspection services the department performed 1,138 inspections and received 398 complaints, responding to 390 of those within 24–72 hours. The report included counts for notices of violation, abatements, director’s hearings and referrals to litigation committees and was accompanied by graphical trend data.
