Neighborhood Inspection Program (NIP)
The NIP program places the Neighborhood Building Inspector in a neighborhood to perform systematic inspections. The Inspector walks the neighborhood noting building code violations and makes referrals to the appropriate agencies for issues that are not building code related.
Goals of the NIP Program
* Preserve and enhance residential neighborhoods through intensified, proactive code enforcement and neighborhood outreach
* Work with residents to gain voluntary compliance and provide assistance and resources as available to facilitate compliance
* Foster a greater awareness of Town Codes and appreciation for neighborhood improvement in a manner that promotes collaboration and cooperation between Town staff and Town residents.
Process
* An announcement letter will be mailed out to residents in the area to be surveyed 30 days prior to the neighborhood Survey.
* Inspections will begin
* An inspection checklist is left when a violation is found
* A reinspection is performed 30 days later of the entire area
* A notice of violation will be mailed if the property is not in compliance
* Send recognition letters to those properties that are well maintained
Types of Violations
