Code Enforcement responds to citizen complaints as fast as possible by determining if a violation has occurred, alerting the responsible party that they are in violation, and enforcing compliance through the legal process. We also investigate complaints about parking  violations, abandoned vehicles,  and properties that are overgrown or dangerously deteriorated.

Clean, well maintained houses, yards and streets are very effective in discouraging criminal activities. Neighborhoods that are healthy and safe tend to discourage criminal activities and neighborhood disputes.
