Keeping Chattanooga Beautiful!
Programs:
Systematic Inspections: Neighborhood Associations can request systematic inspections be performed to address blocks of blight. The following week, inspectors post signs informing residents that neighborhood inspections for housing, litter, overgrowth and inoperable vehicle violations will occur. After 1 whole week, the neighborhood is re-inspected. Courtesy notices are mailed to those who still have violations. Court summonses follow if properties are not brought into compliance.
Fast-tracked City Abatement for Vacant Properties:
Vacant properties that are littered, overgrown, or need to be boarded may be City abated after only a 10-day waiting period. The property is posted with a Public Nuisance notice, a copy is mailed to the owner, and a lien is placed against the property for the cost incurred by the City.
