Good Neighbor Program

he Good Neighbor Program (GNP) seeks to increase participation in neighborhood improvement activities and projects by creating opportunities in which all residents feel comfortable while learning about themselves, their neighbors and their neighborhoods through a series of educational & self-awareness oriented classes and workshops.

The core of a good neighborhood is the type of relationships established among its neighbors. The first step in building relationships is respecting those next door, down the street and around the corner. While people have their own ideas of a good neighbor, there are some basic guidelines established either through the City’s code and zoning laws or through common courtesies that improve the quality of life in your neighborhood.

DO's And DONT's For Being A Good Neighbor

DO'S

Maintain your yards - cut down tall weeds and vegetation!

Keep vacant building secure!

Empty water collecting in containers that attract and breed mosquitoes!

Keep your pool clean!

Schedule bulk items for pickup.

Keep your area graffiti free!

Clean up after your pets!

DONT'S

Park your car on the front lawn or dusty surfaces.

Store excess trash and debris around the outside of your home!

Play loud music after 10 p.m.
