Community Services 

The City of Cudahy Community Services Department covers a wide range of responsibilities including code enforcement, Volunteers on Patrol department maintenance and more.

The Code Enforcement Division enforces a broad range of public health and safety regulations including housing, zoning, health, environmental, public nuisance, and other safety codes that are designed to maintain a healthy, safe and clean environment, carry out land use policy, and preserve the quality of life standards that residents and businesses enjoy in our community.

Our neighborhoods are the environment in which we live and raise our families. Blight and nuisances can devalue, detract, and degrade the quality of any neighborhood. Recognizing the importance of protecting the home environment, the City has adopted codes that govern the use and maintenance of private property.

A sample of typical activity that code enforcement investigates includes:

• Inoperable and or unregistered vehicles
• Substandard rental housing
• Building without permits
• Vacant building monitoring
• Major automotive repair
• Abandoned shopping carts
• Illegal signs
• Junk and rubbish
• Unsafe buildings
