- NET stands for "Neighborhood Empowerment Team". These organizations are 'mini-city hall's' around town giving people local access to government features. From the [http://www2.cityofrochester.net/main/departments.cfm?L1showOnly=0&L2showOnly=57&level=3 City Departments] web page: - - The Neighborhood Empowerment Team (NET) Office consists of ten teams of City employees, with one team assigned to each of the ten Neighbors Building Neighborhoods (NBN) sectors. Each team includes property inspectors and sworn Police personnel to focus on resolution and prevention of chronic quality of life, nuisance, and disorder issues. Traditional Certificate of Occupancy and property complaint services are also provided by NET. The NET teams are based in six site offices located throughout the City. - - == NET Area Office Location == - * A [[Address(1494 Dewey Avenue)]] - * B X--492 Lyell Avenue--X Temporarily moved to [[Address(1099 Jay Street)]] as of June 17, 2008 - * C [[Address(998 Genesee Street)]] - * D [[Address(846 S. Clinton Avenue)]] - * E X--212 Webster Avenue--X Moved into 846 S. Clinton Avenue office - * F [[Address(500 Norton Street)]] - - == Controversy == - - NET has been criticized for inefficiency and for discrepancies in the nature and severity of enforcement, both stemming largely from the decision to operate code enforcement via decentralized offices. (Most municipalities have a single centralized office, ensuring fair and uniform treatment of property owners, as well as allowing the consolidation of redundant infrastructure) On June 16th, 2008, [http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wxxi/news.newsmain?action=article&ARTICLE_ID=1301376&sectionID=1 it was announced] that two of the NET offices would be closed, and another relocated, in order to address the high cost and very low return on investment. - - It should also be noted that NET bases their enforcement patterns on the Owner of Record entered at the assessor's office, which is updated using a slow and inefficient paper-based record-keeping system (unlike the modern computerized systems used by the County Clerk's office). This means that in some cases, NET may be issuing fines to a person who was no longer the property owner at the time of the violation. In other words, should a property violation occur on a property that was recently sold, the seller will have to choose between paying a fine that has nothing to do with them, or trespassing on another person's property in order to correct the violation. - - [[Comments]] - ------ - ''2005-07-22 10:11:28'' [[nbsp]] And here I thought they were glorified police substations.... ? --["TobinFricke"] - ------ - ''2005-07-22 10:50:29'' [[nbsp]] Yeah, unfortunately it looks like that is what they are turning into.
