Providence mayor taps new director of inspections

PROVIDENCE -- Public Works Deputy Director Francisco Ramirez has been tapped as the new director of the city’s Department of Inspection and Standards, which has been without a permanent head since last February.

Ramirez, who Mayor David N. Cicilline credits with overseeing implementation of the Big Green Can trash can project, will oversee 50 employees running the city’s Zoning Board of Review, its building permits and its housing code enforcement.

“Francisco Ramirez has been an invaluable member of my cabinet for the past four years. His extraordinary leadership skills and unique ability to implement strong management systems have earned him the respect of his peers,” Cicilline said today in a statement. “I am confident that Francisco’s ability to build consensus and collaborate across departments will lead to excellence in customer service in Inspection and Standards.”
