Become a Code Enforcement Volunteer!
 Would you like to help beautify Redwood City? You can do just that by becoming a Code Enforcement Volunteer. It's a great way to work together with the City to help beautify and improve neighborhoods and business areas, all for the common purpose of protecting and improving the quality of life in Redwood City.
Code Enforcement Volunteers will visually survey assigned areas of our community, and let our Code Enforcement office know about:
- Inoperative vehicles parked on lawns, driveways, or streets
- Commercial/oversized vehicles parked in residential neighborhoods
- Excessive accumulation of trash in areas visible to the public
- Auto repair or other un-permitted business activities in neighborhoods
- Weeds and overgrown vegetation, which are health and fire hazards
- Possible illegal living units or garage conversions
Volunteers will not be surveying their own neighborhoods, and no interior inspections will be required. These are all visual surveys conducted from the public right-of-way.
You will report possible violations to the City’s Code Enforcement staff for their follow up, and you can also assist in administrative matters and record keeping, in order to free-up our Code Enforcement Officers to focus on enforcement in the field.Your volunteer work can be either during the week or on weekends, and the hours are at your convenience.
Each volunteer will receive a short training session in how to perform a visual survey and how to identify possible code violations.
Students are welcome – good for community service credit!
