Keeping neighborhoods free of blight and deterioration is an important part of maintaining their physical, social and economic health. Neighborhood Preservation inspectors who respond to a report of a blighted property look for eight conditions at that property and on properties in the immediate area.
Here are a couple:
☺...Junk, litter and debris: Junk, litter and debris cannot be left in the yard. They must be disposed of properly. This includes junk auto parts, appliances, furniture, building and/or landscaping material and tires; litter such as discarded paper, cardboard, plastics, etc.; debris such as tree trimmings and fallen tree limbs; or any other items that have been discarded.
☺...Fences in disrepair: Fencing and screening walls must be sound and made from the same materials. They also must be weather-tight and free from deterioration and blight. Fences in residential zones cannot be higher than three feet in the required front yard and six feet in the required rear yard...☺
