Chandler’s Code Enforcement Resident Academy returns this fall for another three-week educational session.

The program is designed to inform Chandler residents about the city’s code enforcement process and empower them to maintain safe, clean and beautiful neighborhoods.

Sessions will be held on Wednesdays, Oct. 8, 15 and 22, from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Downtown Chandler Library, Copper Room South, 22 S. Delaware St. 

This free program gives participants the opportunity to meet the Chandler’s Code Enforcement team and learn about key topics such as property maintenance, common code violations, and how the city works to uphold community standards. Attendees also will learn how to report issues and play an active role in neighborhood preservation.

“Residents are passionate about keeping Chandler a beautiful place to live, and this academy helps them understand exactly how city codes support that goal,” said Erica Barba, Neighborhood Services Program Manager. “By participating, residents gain practical tools they can use to protect property values, strengthen community pride and prevent blight.”

Residents who attend all three sessions will be entered into a prize drawing.
