Neighborhood Improvement

Staff

The Neighborhood Improvement Division (NID) consists of the manager, two neighborhood improvement officers, one environmental improvement officer, and an administrative assistant.

Responsibilities

Division responsibilities include the enforcement of a variety of codes and ordinances contained in the Land Development Code and Code of Ordinances. Each neighborhood improvement officer responds to citizen inquires on residentially zoned property in their assigned area. The city has been divided in half, one officer works on the north side of Granada Blvd.; the other on the south side of Granada Blvd. The environmental improvement officer responds to requests for tree removal permits on developed sites, conducts landscape maintenance inspections on developed commercial properties, and serves as the division's commercial property code officer.

Neighborhood Improvement participates in community outreach programs and is available to make code enforcement presentations to citizen groups, neighborhood associations, and other civic organizations.
