On this episode of The 315 Pulse, we sit down with Jake Dishaw, Deputy Commissioner of Code Enforcement and Zoning Administration for the City of Syracuse. With 17 years of experience serving the community, Jake shares how code enforcement impacts everything from housing safety to major development projects.

We dive into:

• How code enforcement shapes Syracuse’s growth and protects residents
• The challenges (and opportunities) of overseeing 4,000+ permits a year
• Micron’s arrival and what it means for jobs, housing, and downtown development
• The realities of budget cuts, staffing, and keeping the city moving forward
• Why Syracuse’s zoning overhaul is a game-changer for future projects
• Fire safety, inspections, and what most people don’t realize about building codes

From the upcoming I-81 project to the billion dollars in new construction permitted under Mayor Walsh, Jake offers an insider’s view of how Syracuse is evolving — and why the city is poised for its biggest transformation in decades.

If you care about urban growth, safety, and the future of Central New York, this episode is a must-listen.

From six overtimes at Madison Square Garden to six hundred turkey dinners for Syracuse families — Eric “Devo” Devendorf’s story is one of grit, growth, and giving back.

In this episode of 315 Pulse, we sit down with the Syracuse basketball legend to relive the unforgettable 6-OT game vs. UConn, his years playing pro ball across Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, and what it was like returning to finish his degree under Coach Boeheim. Eric also shares how his passion for the game evolved into a mission to serve through the ED23 Foundation, empowering underprivileged youth in Central New York with mentorship, opportunity, and real-world skills.
