My neighbor's property is full of junk, litter & unused vehicles. Will the City help me eliminate this mess?
Yes, if the materials in your neighbor’s yard meet the definitions found within city ordinances for junk, litter, and inoperable vehicles. Upon receiving a complaint, city staff will visit your neighborhood and determine if the condition of the yard is a violation of city ordinances. If it is, the neighbor will be sent a letter asking him to clean the yard within a short time. If the neighbor does not comply with this request, he usually receives a misdemeanor citation.
