2. Working with residents, neighborhood associations, public services agencies and other City departments to:

• Facilitate voluntary compliance with city laws and codes.
• Empower community self-help programs.
• Develop public outreach programs.
• Establish community priorities for enforcement programs.

Code Enforcement Team
The Code Enforcement Team works to improve the quality of life in Modesto’s neighborhoods through awareness, education and enforcement. Code Enforcement Officers are responsible for abating zoning violations, including unlawful use of land, illegal street vendors, continuous yard sales (only two per residence per year are allowed), illegal fences and illegal camping in vehicles. Officers also remove illegal dumped debris or accumulated trash and junk along with the abatement of nuisance vegetation.
