Community Development
The City Council has placed a high level of importance on property maintenance and nuisance activities. In addition to monitoring construction, Community Department Staff works to achieve code compliance as it relates to property maintenance and nuisances.
The City’s Property Maintenance and Nuisance Regulations helps property owners, residents and business owners to maintain quality neighborhoods and business districts; keeping the values of Gladstone properties high and promoting excellent community environment. Property owners, residents and business owners should never underestimate the negative effect simple blight can have on neighborhoods, business districts and the City overall. When an area begins to deteriorate, a ripple affect begins to spread outward. Statistics show that when this happens crime and blight increases.
When property owners, residents and business owners show pride in their properties by keeping them well maintained, community strength grows. Resulting in the overall quality of life in the City improved.
