A component of the Metropolitan Area Business and Construction Department’s (MABCD) revised mission is providing services that ensure public safety and health in regard to residential and commercial buildings – both new and existing structures. One of the ways MABCD accomplishes this mission is through code enforcement. The sheer volume of code violations, however, necessitates that the Department’s dedicated staff prioritize those violations that most directly threaten public health and safety.

The natural consequence of this prioritization is that the more common nuisance cases, such as those involving weeds and tall grass, are not processed with the same urgency that staff and citizens desire.
In an effort to reduce the backlog of cases, make the current process more efficient, and better partner with the community, MABCD has established the Volunteer Nuisance Reporter Program.
We are forming a program that best suits the needs of District 3, as the details get finalized, we will post them here. We need your help in the most blighted area of the district. Will you join us? If you are intrested please contact us using any of the email forms on this site. At this time we are tallying supporters, if you change your mind later that is fine, but for now we need to get a rough idea how many would be willing to assist.
