PROGRAM and Service Level CHANGES
The Office of the Commissioner reflects a neighborhood investment by adding a Director of Policy & Strategic Initiatives to develop and implement the former award-winning Neighbors Building Neighborhoods (NBN) program. The Zoning division transfers to the Office of the Commissioner from Buildings and Compliance as a part of the department's restructuring. Two positions are transferred from the Office of the Commissioner to Buildings and Compliance to further support and finalize the Land Management integration. This bureau will continue to serve and carry out department wide initiatives.
