Under the direction of the Civil Enforcement Manager, incumbents conduct field inspections, investigate complaints, and enforce the City's zoning, sign, exterior housing maintenance, and other nuisance and environmental control ordinances.

The Civil Enforcement Officer II is distinguished from the Civil Enforcement Officer I by the ability to independently perform job duties with limited supervision and demonstrate a higher degree of judgment, discretion and familiarity with City codes and ordinances. At the higher level, incumbents are also expected to possess the ability to resolve more complex cases and conflicts with greater sensitivity and/or advanced negotiation skills.
