Neighborhood Code Compliance Division

The Neighborhood Code Compliance Division is responsible for the maintenance and preservation of existing structures in the community through the enforcement of property maintenance codes and coordination of efforts to achieve compliance with the City’s blight and nuisance abatement programs.
