Report a Problem about a Property’s Appearance or Safety
We care about the appearance and safety of all City properties. As part of the City’s blight elimination initiative, we have been targeting blighted properties to either bring them into compliance with City ordinances or eliminate them all together. We encourage property owners and renters to keep up with the appearance of their properties, and to report problems that are not addressed in a timely manner. Generally, we are not able to enter properties for an inspection unless a complaint is filed with the City.
