Problems in the Neighborhood
Preventing Problems
- Knowing your neighbors goes a long way toward preventing neighbor issues. The more you can work out your problems together, the better.
- Set a good example.
- Anticipate your neighbors' needs.
Addressing Neighbor Issues
Start with the least intrusive approach. This usually means talking directly with them about your issues and finding a mutually agreeable solution.
The next step is to bring your issue to the monthly meetings. Here you can get help so you aren't addressing issues alone.
Neighborhood Advocacy
The Neighborhood Association can advocate on behalf of the neighborhood concerning nuisance issues like hoarding, which leads to health and other issues for the neighbors.
The monthly Neighborhood Association Meetings are a good place to start.
