<\/p>\nCode Compliance Inspectors from Orange County\u2019s Neighborhood Services Division went above and beyond their regular duties recently when they sprang into action to help a resident in need.<\/p>\n
Virginia Bruton was on her way to the Orange County Community Conference on Saturday, November 15, when she hit a curb and popped a tire. As she began dialing a roadside assistance service, a code compliance inspector approached to offer help.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe came up to me and said, \u2018It looks like you could use some help,\u2019\u201d said Bruton, a resident of Azalea Park. \u201cHe started changing my tire, and before you knew it, the whole crew showed up and changed the tire.\u201d<\/p>\n
Senior Code Compliance Inspector Steve Marconi initiated the effort. Danny Ortiz retrieved the jack and tire iron, while Tahajj Swan and Daniel Long joined in to lend a hand. Within minutes, Bruton was safely back on the road.<\/p>\n
The gesture is a testament to the team\u2019s unwavering commitment to public service\u2014even in moments that fall well outside their regular responsibilities.<\/p>\n

Bruton said she attends the Orange County Community Conference each year to network with neighborhood partners, meet County employees, and learn from insightful breakout sessions. At this year\u2019s event, held at the Orange County Multi-Cultural Center in Pine Hills, Marconi presented on the role the Code Compliance team plays in enhancing the health, safety, and beauty of local neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
In 2024, Orange County\u2019s Code Compliance Team conducted more than 33,200 inspections and resolved 16,000 cases related to property maintenance, structural deficiencies, nuisance complaints, and more.<\/p>\n
But as Bruton learned in the conference parking lot, the team\u2019s willingness to make a difference shines through in every interaction\u2014whether it\u2019s resolving a code issue or simply helping a neighbor in a moment of need.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were very patient and kind,\u201d Bruton said. \u201cIt was so nice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Orange County residents are encouraged to report code violations by contacting Orange County\u2019s 3-1-1 non-emergency help and information number via phone, web chat, and smartphone app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
