Code Enforcement

The Code Enforcement/Neighborhood Inspections functions of the Development Services Department address unsafe, unhealthy, and negative environmental conditions that can lead to neighborhood deterioration and blight. Weeds, abandoned cars, unsafe exterior structural conditions, and accumulations of trash in yards are primary neighborhood concerns as controlled by the adopted City Property Maintenance Code. This division helps educate the public as to the purposes of the Property Maintenance Code, and participates with neighbors in volunteer clean-up activities. An Environmental Court Program has been established to help attain compliance with the adopted neighborhood and property maintenance standards.
