Neighbor-to-Neighbor Program

The City of Wichita's enforcement divisions offer a pro-active approach to problem solving within a neighborhood through their Neighbor-to-Neighbor Program.  The Program offers a neighborhood - whether residential, commercial, or mixed - the opportunity to improve that area through greater participation in resolving code-related violations.  

This Program reinforces other neighborhood efforts such as the Neighborhood Patrol, Neighborhood Clean-Up, and Neighborhood Watch programs.  All neighborhood programs are designed to make Wichita's neighborhoods a better place in which to live.

Goals

  • Reduce Crime In Your Neighborhood

  • Enhance Communication Between You and Your Neighbors

  • Reduce/Remove Neighborhood Blight

  • Maintain Property Values In Your Neighborhood

Training

Key personnel from the City of Wichita provide training for neighborhood association members interested in taking a pro-active approach when working on neighborhood issues.  Areas emphasized during the training are:  

  • Code violation identification;

  • Committee structuring;

  • Financial assistance awareness;

  • City procedures and;

  • Inter-departmental information

Once the training is completed, each participant has a general understanding of code enforcement, and receives a Certificate of Completion.  This allows neighborhood association members to play a key role in the pro-active resolution of problems within their own neighborhoods.
