Council approves hire for rental inspection program director
Summary
Bridgeport Borough authorized hiring Joseph (candidate name transcribed variably) as the rental inspection program director effective Jan. 6, 2026, following staff restructuring after a department director retirement; council approved the motion unanimously.
Bridgeport Borough Council authorized the appointment of Joseph (transcribed variably in the record) as the borough’s rental inspection program director, effective Jan. 6, 2026, conditional on completion of required background checks.
Council discussed department restructuring prompted by the retirement of building and code director Steve Wanczyk. Administration explained that Michael Kinsey will transition to the building inspector role and that Joseph—described by staff as having more than a decade of experience in neighboring municipalities including Norristown, West Norriton and West Conshohocken—was recommended for the rental inspection position. The manager and council praised Joseph’s local ties and his role as a battalion chief at Bridgeport Fire Company No. 1.
The vote to authorize the hire was recorded as 6-0.
What’s next: administration will complete conditional background requirements and onboarding so the hire can take effect on Jan. 6, 2026.
