Quality of Life
Department of Neighborhoods

We want to make it easier for neighbors to be involved in their neighborhoods. Through our community-based initiatives, we provide the tools necessary for neighbors to “fight blight” and improve the quality of life in neighborhoods. Our initiatives range from one-year agreements to educating residents on ways they can report blight using their phone.

About Our Work

What We Do: Inspections & Public Service (IPS) uses building codes, sign codes, nuisance violations, and beautification projects to improve the quality of life in neighborhoods. The division's four sections work with community partners and residents to respond to their concerns and help vitalize neighborhoods.

Our Vision: To be the change in neighborhoods today, that will last tomorrow, by empowering neighbors and supporting communities.

Our Mission: To rid our neighborhoods of blight by embodying the same generosity and grit of our neighbors, to build strong relationships with neighborhoods, to address the root of problems, and support the success of others who also serve our neighborhoods - every day.

Four Goals: Improve Services, Improve Response Times, Increase Public Awareness, and Increase Compliance.
