Consider using motion-activated lighting and security cameras near entry points. Avoid opening the door to unknown individuals; use a door viewer or intercom if available. Request contactless delivery when offered by delivery services. If something feels suspicious, do not open the door—call 911.

Code Enforcement Process

Everyone from time to time has experienced a neighbor that may not cut their grass or keep their property as tidy as one might hope. The city has “codes” to ensure a certain level of uniformity and standards when it comes to property maintenance and upkeep. Occasionally the city must use those “codes” to encourage our neighbors to follow the standards set by the city to ensure the best quality of life for all residents of the city.

So, what happens when someone calls to report an issue, for example, that their neighbor has a car up on blocks in their front yard? Contrary to popular belief, the city will not go out and immediately remove the car from the blocks nor cite the homeowner for the code violation. There is a process that must be followed to ensure everyone has an opportunity to be heard.

Taylor Mill contracts with the office of  Planning and Development Services of Kenton County (PDS) to  handle our code enforcement and their staff has created a great guide to better explain the flow of the process, both for the potential code violator, and for the reporting citizen.   Here is the link to their website:   PDS Code Enforcement.
