Hours of Operation - Offer Night and Weekend Hours

The Department of Neighborhood Services is open from 8-4 (or something like that). However, most folks do their investment real estate or their own property repairs as a home owner -- on the evenings or weekends. However, you cannot get a hold of an inspector on the nights or weekends. Therefore, you have to take time off work or out of your day to contact the inspectors or meet them.

The City of Milwaukee should start requiring inspectors to have flexible time, so that there are inspectors available on nights and weekends for the citizens of Milwaukee to contact with them.

This also would give employees higher satisfaction if they could plan their work schedule between 7am and 8pm rather than having to plan their life around an 8-4 work schedule.

Our society is moving to a culture of 24/7. City offices need to catch up with the rest of society.
