Project ZOOM
(Zone, Outreach,
Objective & Mission)

Every other Monday, beginning May 11th, city assessment teams will visit a
specific section of the city. The team will consist of members from the Inspections Dept.,

Dept. of Public Works, Police Dept., Fire Dept. and SPCA. They will inspect the area for
properties that are not code compliant. Property owners will be cited immediately and have 96 hours
to fix the problem or show that they are bringing the situation into compliance.
And finally . . . enforcement!

The following Monday, the team will re-inspect the area and move to enforce any property owners

that haven’t complied. Non-compliant property owners will be issued a warrant to appear in court.

You Are the Eyes & Ears

During the last Block Club Meeting, the following problems were brought up:
1. No “One Way” Street signs
coming out of Key Bank parking
lot.
2. Abandoned Cars in alley
3. Excessive noise and traffic at
certain addresses
4. Abandoned homes
Since then, #1 has been fixed and the
signs have been put up.
“Hot Sheets” have been submitted
recently to the Inspections Dept., and
Roving Anti-Crime Unit to address
#2 & #3.
If you have an abandoned home next to you, please call or email Carroll Schultz

or Maryanne Harvey with the address and “Hot Sheets” will be submitted this month.
