Mission Statement

The City of Gary Code Enforcement Department is driven by a deep commitment to transforming our community into a place of pride, safety, and opportunity. Our mission is to revitalize neighborhoods, one property at a time, by enforcing city codes with fairness, integrity, and care. We believe that every resident deserves to live in a clean, safe, and vibrant environment, and through our diligent efforts, we will eliminate blight, protect public health, and uplift the beauty of Gary. We are not just enforcing rules—we are building a stronger, more unified community where businesses thrive, homes shine, and neighbors work together toward a shared vision of a brighter future. Our work is fueled by hope, collaboration, and a deep love for our city, as we partner with residents, property owners, and local businesses to ensure that Gary remains a welcoming and flourishing city for generations to come. Together, we will restore and preserve the heart of our community, creating a legacy of renewal and growth.

As the Code Enforcement Superintendent for the City of Gary, I am committed to fostering a strong collaborative environment across all city departments to enhance efficiency and responsiveness. My primary goal is to become thoroughly familiar with each inter-departmental workforce, comprehensively understanding their specific roles, responsibilities, and challenges.
