ISSUES

• Moschetta said she will make hiring a full-time building department director “a top priority,” and will advocate for expanded staffing in both the building and the code enforcement departments “to ensure accountability and compliance.”
• She said she will work closely with neighborhood associations to address quality-of-life concerns such as traffic infractions, overcrowded and illegal housing, litter and code violations.
• She said her priorities also include reinstating quarterly town hall gatherings to hear directly from residents, and making the city’s website more interactive. “If you want things to be different, you have to do things differently,” she said.
