Blight Abatement Initiative

In December of 2000 the Code Enforcement Department unveiled a new Blight Abatement Initiative that would target residential buildings that were neglected and in a deteriorated state. The programs goal would be to restore, maintain and preserve the existing housing stock which would ultimately help to improve the quality of life for all its citizens. In January 2001, the department expanded its initiative to include commercial properties and then concentrated its efforts on the top ten deteriorated buildings in each category.
