Nuisance Issue

overgrown yard_thumb1ac6Norwalk is a great place to live and we all value our property. From time to time though, some common issues arise that violate city code. According to Norwalk City Code, a vehicle must be parked on a hard surface and cannot be parked in a person's yard. Another common nuisance complaint is grass that is too long. The maximum allowed grass height is 8 inches. Excessive garbage, debris and other waste is also not allowed under our nuisance code. The city also requires that dead or diseased trees be removed as a public safety concern.
