Michigan City to Begin Code Enforcement Sweep on May 18th

michigan-city-sealMayor Ron Meer would like to announce that the first code enforcement sweep of 2016 will be conducted May 18th, 19th, and 20th.

The code enforcement sweep will focus on the north corridor of the city, north of the South Shore tracks, from Sheridan Avenue to Roeske Avenue.

Issues such as: overgrown properties, vacant and abandoned houses, abandoned and unregistered vehicles, dilapidated houses and garages, Inadequate Animal housing and care, and any other identifiable safety hazards which could negatively affect the city and its citizens will be addressed. The Michigan City Police Department and the City of Michigan City inspectors will be issuing warnings and citations for code violations.

The Michigan City Fire Department will also be available in a city wide manner to assist any elderly or disabled persons with the installation or checking of their smoke detectors. For support, please call the Michigan City Fire Department at: 219-873-1440.

A safe and clean city is a vital part of enhancing Michigan City’s image for our visitors and providing a better quality of life for our residents. Citizens are urged to take a proactive approach to address and fix any possible violations before the code enforcement sweep occurs in your area.
