Neighborhood Wellness

The enhanced Neighborhood Wellness Program approved by San Luis Obispo City Council last year is being implemented to help residents preserve the quality of their neighborhoods through extensive education and outreach, and proactive enforcement of property maintenance standards. The program is currently in a “soft roll-out” phase of the Neighborhood Wellness Program, and will be posting courtesy reminders at properties in violation of the standards. Beginning in May 2012, Community Development Department staff will begin proactively visiting neighborhoods on a routine basis to fully implement the program. 

What is our goal?

The goal of enforcement is to achieve Neighborhood Wellness by identifying code violations and working with residents to correct violations.  Neighborhood Wellness is a Major City Goal that directs staff to proactively enforce specific code violations that relate to front yard blight to ensure that neighborhoods remain safe, healthy, and desirable environments.

Who are we?

Code Enforcement Officers and Neighborhood Services Specialists are staff members working in the City's Community Development Department whose focus is on promoting health and safety in neighborhoods and increasing awareness and information about City policies and Municipal Codes.  They investigate potential code violations in response to citizen complaints and actively patrol for violations of property maintenance standards.  You can report potential code violations by following the "Report a Potential Code Violation" link below.
