Question: My neighbor's property is full of junk, litter & unused vehicles. Will the City help me eliminate this mess?
Answer:

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.
