In this episode of "This Week in the City", Mayor Esposito speaks with Shawn Stillman, UNIT Coordinator about the Unified Neighborhood Inspection Team.
Preserving the quality and character of Danbury’s neighborhoods, as well as improving and maintaining the quality of life for all of its residents, is the primary goal for the Office of Neighborhood Assistance, also known as the UNIT (Unified Neighborhood Inspection Team).
The UNIT works closely with other respective departments to remedy Blight, Health, Housing, Zoning and Fire code violations in a timely and professional manner. Concerns ranging from blighted properties, illegal apartments, unregistered vehicles, neighborhood nuisances, unpermitted construction and overcrowded, unsafe living conditions are just some of the many issues that our department addresses.
Additionally, the UNIT partners with the Danbury Police Department to investigate graffiti activity, illegal dumping, issue tickets for parking violations, and remove any abandoned or unregistered motor vehicles parked on city streets.
The department has become the model of “one-stop shopping,” as residents can submit a complaint regarding any matter of concern and it will be appropriately addressed. It is essential that our team responds quickly and efficiently to their concerns.
We appreciate their support in helping to maintain and improve the quality of life for all residents of Danbury. The department strives to enhance Danbury’s position as a premier place to live, work, and raise a family
