Code Enforcement Neighborhood Deployment in the University Pines Neighborhood

The city's Code Administration Department calls it a Neighborhood Deployment. The area sits inside 82nd Street, University Avenue, 98th Street, and Indiana Avenue. Inspectors will work from a field office at 2713 88th Street, at the corner of 88th Street and Detroit Avenue.

They are hunting for four kinds of problems: junked vehicles, nuisance weeds and rubbish, substandard housing, and zoning violations. Along the way, inspectors will explain city ordinances to people in the area.

If you live inside those borders, your block is in play that day. A junked car or an overgrown yard can draw a citation, and in some cases the city may clean it up itself.

Solid Waste will also park a roll off dumpster at the field office. Residents in the defined area can haul over bulky items such as furniture, appliances, or tree branches.
