Solving the Puzzle: Identifying an Understanding Hoarding Disorder (.3 CEUs)
Encountering a hoarding situation in a housing unit can be like solving a puzzle. Finding the right pieces to match, knowing where to place them and seeing the bigger picture through all of it can be a daunting task for any code official. Greg Smith has over 14 years’ experience dealing with hoarding situations on a professional and personal level. By sharing his experience as a municipal inspector and personal relationship with a person who has hoarding tendencies, Greg will help code officials deal with the ever-changing puzzle that is Hoarding.

Preparing Your Case: Documentation, Report Writing and Evidence. (.3 CEU’s)
Working as a Code Enforcement Official, Building Official, Plans Examiner or Permit Technician comes with a lot of responsibility. Daily, you will encounter situations that require documentation of your interactions, actions, and results. Each case will be unique and require different steps and methods to document it from start to finish. If any of the steps are missed, it weakens the case and the credibility of the staff and the jurisdiction. From housing inspections and property maintenance cases to permit requests and plan submittals diligent attention to the process of documentation is needed. This class will go over procedures, processes, and best practices for maintaining professional documentation, writing reports, and documenting evidence for housing inspections, code enforcement cases, ad building permit and plan submittals and reviews with the assumption that someday the information will be needed at a hearing, appeal or court proceeding.
