Code Compliance Communication Strategy
Summary
The city is reworking how it handles overgrown lots, tree limbs, and repeat violators. The plan: one letter combining a courtesy notice with the notice of violation, resources for seniors who need help, citation after seven days if no contact, and liens on chronically unmowed commercial properties.

Impact analysis
Abating every violation isn't affordable — liens often never repay the city's mowing costs.
Residents living near chronic blight and seniors who'll get a list of help resources.
Residents who feel past enforcement was too slow or too aggressive — complaints come from both directions.
