We all have to work together and meet certain basic standards to maintain a safe, healthy, prosperous, and attractive community. This is the goal of the City’s zoning, building code, and nuisance regulations. When the City becomes aware of a violation, we work with property owners to address the issue and strive to be reasonable.
