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.
