The City of Salisbury’s Neighborhood Services & Code Compliance Department (NSCC)
is pleased unveil a new “Public Awareness Campaign” that will commence June 1, 2010.
The program will begin in combination with the utilization of the new code enforcement
software program – Comcate.
NSCC’s Code Enforcement Officers will be issuing door tags that are intended to inform
property owners of violations of the City of Salisbury Property Maintenance Code before
any enforcement action is taken. Utilization of the tagging program is at the officer’s
discretion and will not necessarily circumvent standard enforcement protocols.
This campaign is an initiative of Mayor James Ireton, Jr. to inform the public of code
violations and provide them the opportunity to bring the violations into compliance rather
then issuing a notice of violation.
In addition to the benefits of the courtesy tagging campaign, NSCC will also be tagging
properties that have shown recent improvement by placing a “You’ve been caught”
improving your property placard on the property.
Mayor Ireton states, “In an effort to be proactive in our code enforcement, I am pleased
that we have found a way to gently nudge properties toward the fixes they require in
complying with the Salisbury Housing Code. Additionally, we are now able to thank
residents for the efforts they have put into making their properties comply. This effort,
by staff at Neighborhood Service and Code Compliance, is a progressive step in the right
direction”

See I told you we dont need another inforcement officer. He has time to go around and wrie up problems and then go again and write it up for real. People dont need to have an ATTA BOY cetificate for doing a good job.
We already know it.
I am so sick and tired of the money, time and effort Ireton is putting into NSCC.
I think the plan is to FINE Salisbury residents as a way to justify NSCC. Get ready people, a quota system is coming to your neighborhood. Better keep that grass under 4" just in case.
Seriously. We got a citation for grass which is growing in the cracks of the sidewalk...which is very old and not even. There must be something more pressing than six or seven spots of grass in a sidewalk crack for these "officials" to be worrying about. I know of a house that hasn't had hot water in almost a year, and there are visible holes in the exterior walls. Why hasn't THAT owner gotten one of these nastygrams?
