City Codes are laws established and passed by our elected City Council in an attempt to ensure that everyone will have “A neighborhood that is safe, healthy and a desirable place to live”.
Neighborhood Association’s goals are to preserve, protect and improve the quality of life in the neighborhood. You are encouraged to make an effort to correct any of the following listed items. Thanks for your support in making the neighborhood a desirable place to live.

Code Enforcement is a necessary tool to help fight crime, maintain property values and maintain peace in our neighborhoods.
It is not the Neighborhood Association’s goal to do policing of these City Code violations. The City will do that. Our goals are to keep the neighborhood a safe and attractive place to live. We all need to be aware of these codes and also help educate our neighbors of codes they might be violating.
Thank you for your support in helping to make the neighborhood a safe, healthy and desirable place to live.
