The Fairbanks North Star Borough found itself without a Code Enforcement Officer this summer.
Published: Oct. 12, 2023 at 9:37 AM AKDTFAIRBANKS, Alaska - When a resident of the Fairbanks North Star Borough wants to report a code violation, they fill out a complaint with the Community Planning Department.However, Interior Alaska found itself without a Code Enforcement Officer this summer. During that time, “I’ve been doing my best to handle the code enforcement cases coming in. Has been a bit of a challenge,” said Kellen Spillman, Director of FNSB Community Planning.
Community Planning has two positions for Code Enforcement Officers. Their job is to ensure compliance with borough code around the community.According to Spillman, “One we really prioritize a lot is folks blocking public rights of way. These are public roads. They’re available to the public.
As such, the job involves interaction with property owners to obtain code compliance. “The most common case type we have are folks that are meeting thresholds of what we call junkyards that have a number of items that the code defines as junk,” Spillman explained. Lower on the priority list are cases involving livestock in certain neighborhoods.
Many of these, especially priority cases, date back a year or two, according to the director. However, he said, “We have current open cases from 1991.” This fall saw some relief, as one of the code enforcement officer position was filled in September. “Him and I are working to try and fill the backlog of investigations we’ve had,” continued the director.
