The Officer also conducts inspections to determine compliance with the zoning code, issues cease and desist orders when necessary, and directs, in writing, the correction of any conditions found to be in violation of the provisions of the zoning code. The Zoning Officer also maintains a map showing the correct zoning classification of all lands in the Borough.
