Code enforcement that is used equitably, efficiently, and effectively is one of the most promising approaches to vacant, abandoned, and deteriorating properties at work in the United States today.
Michigan communities have a number of valuable tools available. Whether you are a local elected official, a member of building department staff, or a community leader striving to improve the condition of properties in your area, a new guide might help you enhance or expand your community’s code enforcement efforts.
Even if you’re not in Michigan, states can often learn from each other, so the Center For Community Progress has just published this Michigan Code Enforcement Guide, “Revitalization in Michigan: A Guide to Transforming VAD Properties through Code Enforcement.”
