What can I do to help?

The best thing you can do is be concerned about the welfare and appearance of your street and neighborhood; then take action:

• Organize a block or alley clean up.
• Return a stray shopping cart to the store.
• Report illegal dumping immediately.
• Remove temporary signs from utility poles.
• Make sure your property is free from code violations.
• Encourage neighbors and surrounding businesses to maintain their property.
• Arrange for Code Enforcement staff to speak at your neighborhood gathering.
• Volunteer to organize a clean up at your neighborhood school.
• Call to report realtors who advertise properties in your neighborhood with code violations.
• Visit your neighborhood association.
• Encourage your children to care about a clean neighborhood.
