Housing and Neighborhood Health
What We Do
We strive to improve the quality of life in the neighborhoods through code enforcement and education efforts related to occupied structures, vacant structures and sanitation conditions. Our housing interventions help improve the neighborhood’s health status, and have a positive impact on the quality of life.
Many of our investigations are request-driven — we respond to community concerns through complaint-driven investigations and targeted interventions that reduce health risks and neighborhood blight.
