Zone Initiative Team
City Attorney Pfeiffer started the innovative program called the Zone Initiative in 2008.
The program is designed to enhance communication between the City Attorney’s Office,
the Columbus Division of Police, Code Enforcement, the City Departments of Health
and Sanitation, neighborhood associations and other community organizations in order
to aid in uplifting Columbus neighborhoods. A secondary goal of the project is to
increase municipal court prosecutors’ and municipal court judges’ awareness of the
effects of crimes on the quality of life in Columbus neighborhoods.
Working closely with the Division of Police, Code Enforcement, Columbus Public Health,
Sanitation and community organizations, this unit focuses on the elimination of
public nuisances that blight the City’s neighborhoods. Whether it is abandoned and
deteriorating houses, open dumping, street prostitution, boot joints, excessive
noise or trash and debris, this unit seeks to eliminate these problems. Using the
statutory jurisdiction (R.C. 1901.181 and 1901.183) of the Environmental Division
of the Franklin County Municipal Court, this unit will file complaints for injunctive
relief, seeking equitable solutions to persistent problems. Mediation will also
be attempted.
