Neighborhood Mediation

The Neighborhood Mediation program encourages and assists citizens to voluntarily resolve disputes at the community level.

Disputes involving noise, fences, parking, vandalism, animal complaints, pet control, property damage or maintenance, harassment, minor assaults, and conflicts over money and personal property are some of the types of issues appropriate for mediation.

In contrast to enforcement options, or the conventional “win / lose” option of litigation, mediation enables neighbors to work together to solve problems and enhance neighborhoods.

Some conflicts can be resolved by simply talking directly with your neighbor.

See our Steps to Resolution for information that may be helpful to you in addressing neighborhood concerns.

See also the Suggestions for Preventing Conflict with Neighbors for tips on living peacefully with your neighbor.

Simple consideration and appropriate communication with your neighbor may be all that is necessary to prevent conflicts from occurring.
