SAMUEL PERRY

Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh has appointed long-time city employee SAMUEL PERRY as the new public works inspector, focused solely on addressing illegal setouts of trash and debris. In his previous role for the last 12 years, Perry served as the former assistant director of the Division of Code Enforcement. He has an extensive background in construction, owning his own business before joining the city. Prior to being a self-employed contractor, Perry served in the military, which was a catalyst for his pursuit of public service in municipal government. He began his new duties on Oct. 28. Perry will report directly to Department of Public Works Commissioner Jeremy Robinson.
