Livable Neighborhoods has created the Good Neighbor Relations Guide to educate and encourage voluntary compliance of our property maintenance laws. Keeping your property clean will make you a good neighbor and make your neighborhood a safe, clean place for you and your family to live. Unkempt property, tall weeds and grass, abandoned cars, trash, broken windows, loud music all contribute to breeding crime. In order to keep crime down in our neighborhoods we should help our neighbors know what the laws are regarding property maintenance.
