Departmental Procedures

When an inspector observes an environmental violation, pictures are taken, a citation is issued, and a letter is sent to the property owner.
The property owner has 10 days from the date the citation was mailed to abate the violation.
After the 10 days have passed, an inspector will reinspect the property to verify the issue was abated.
- If the violation was cleaned by owner, the case is closed.
- If the violation is still present, the Neighborhood Enforcement Action Team (NEAT) will be assigned to abate the violation.
  - NEAT will take a picture before they abate the violation and after they have abated the violation.
  - After the violation has been abated by NEAT, Neighborhood Services & Enforcement will bill the property owner of record for the abatement.

NOTE: The City’s Department of Solid Waste can remedy many problems that involve removal of trash and debris. Dial 311 (or 574-233-0311) to schedule a special pick-up.
