Operation Impact Program

Operation Impact is a partnership between neighborhood organizations and local government to improve blighted neighborhoods by dealing effectively with nuisance properties.

Operation Impact coordinates the response of City and County departments that in the past have dealt separately when citing property owners for violations of nuisance ordinances.  Neighborhoods play a pivotal role by identifying nuisance properties and supporting court proceedings when necessary.

To qualify as an Operation Impact site, a property must require the attention of more than one department/agency and meet at least one of the following criteria:

  • The property or property owner must have a longstanding history of code violations;
  • The property or property owner must have been the subject of previous code enforcement action; or
  • The property must be an endangerment to the public's safety
