Neighborhood Inspection
The Neighborhood Inspection section is responsible for enforcement of the Housing Code (housing maintenance) for existing housing, and residential zoning code issues (i.e. parking violations, illegal home occupations, signs on right-of-way, etc.). Download the Neighborhood Inspection brochure. Neighborhood Inspection is also responsible for ensuring the removal of graffiti; condemnation and removal of dangerous and unsafe buildings; and an emergency board up program, for vacant and open residential structures. Neighborhood Inspectors enforce the minimum Housing Code and the residential requirements of the Unified Zoning Code. Each Neighborhood Inspector is assigned an inspection area within the City and is responsible for enforcement in that area. Neighborhood Inspectors work closely with Community Police Officers and with Neighborhood Associations in their designated inspection areas. Neighborhood Inspectors are also part of the CLEAN Team, which is a coalition of Law and Code Enforcement officers working together to rid neighborhoods of gang and drug activity. This section also coordinates the Neighborhood Cleanup Program. This program provides equipment and assistance to neighborhood associations and groups, interested in cleaning up their neighborhoods.
