The Field Services program consists of four divisions: Health, Housing, Environmental Services and Weights & Measures. The Health Division's role is to protect the public health by permitting and inspecting food establishments, restaurants, caterers, health clubs, massage practitioners, and recreational camps. The Housing Division's role is to ensure the availability of clean, safe living conditions as required by the State Sanitary Code. The Environmental Services Division is responsible for the abatement and prevention of rodent infestation, the implementation of the City's site cleanliness ordinance, the boarding and securing of abandoned properties, and the coordination of the vacant lot maintenance program. The Weights and Measures Division is charged with protecting consumers by ensuring accuracy in retail establishment pricing and proper readings on gas pumps, taxi meters, scales and fuel truck meters. Animal Care and Control issues dog licenses, protects the public from dangerous animals and holds clinics on rabies awareness.
