Community Centered Code Enforcement Initiative was piloted beginning March 2016 in response to Code Enforcement staff’s desire to improve enforcement outcomes and increase connections with communities. Team problem solving/brainstorming sessions resulted in prioritizing resident education and engagement regarding city code to increase awareness and compliance.
Officers and supervisors select focus areas based on:
• Historically high contractions of citations
• Visual assessments of current conditions in the neighborhoods in their enforcement areas
Officers then partner with Community Engagement and Human Relations staff in
• Conducting neighborhood canvassing to engage/educate residents on city ordinances and enforcement complexities and establish baseline conditions
Then Code Enforcement staff:
• Conducts proactive warning inspections (minor) and full inspections for all properties in the focus area
• Conducts 30 day follow-up inspections to drive overall and voluntary compliance to improve housing and neighborhood conditions
