Neighborhood Code
Code Enforcement strives to keep all properties in compliance through education, community policing and building relationships with our citizens. The Code Enforcement Department aims to strengthen neighborhoods by preventing the deterioration of housing and commercial properties, through the enforcement and abatement of code violations. Property owners and tenants are equally responsible for the care of their premises.
The Code Enforcement Department encourages all residents to know the code and keep our community free from health and safety risks. Removing the public nuisances within each neighborhood will reduce related criminal activity and preserve property values.
