Sometimes people need to be reminded what it means to be a good neighbor. It does the entire town a disservice by not reporting code violations like debris/trash piling up in yards and businesses, peeling paint, illegal parking etc. I have received a handful of emails in regards to some of these issues and the people coming forward almost seem reluctant or hesitant to say anything. These are precisely the emails or calls I hope to receive more of since it escalates an issue that town staff or your elected representatives are often times totally unaware about. The issues can usually be remediated very quickly when they are known – but they have to be known. The best way to handle these issues is to address the email as follows:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>TO: <a href="mailto:code@riverdaleparkmd.gov">code@riverdaleparkmd.gov</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>And <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>CC: your elected Councilman and/or Mayor (contact information fond here <a href="http://riverdaleparkmd.info/parkcouncil/index.cfm">http://riverdaleparkmd.info/parkcouncil/index.cfm</a> )<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>And <a href="mailto:ptimmons@riverdaleparkmd.gov">ptimmons@riverdaleparkmd.gov</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It is important that the situation be addressed to town staff but equally important that your elected officials are aware of the issues.
