Nuisance Abatement Program

Quality of Life

Public nuisances occur when the activity or operation at a home or establishment results in a flagrant violation of the City of Rochester’s Penal Law or Municipal Code provisions. Nuisances substantially harm the quality of life, the environment, commerce, property values, public health, safety, and welfare. The Nuisance Abatement Program was established to identify and remedy such public nuisances.

Nuisance Advisory Board (NAB) 

The Nuisance Advisory Board (NAB) oversees the process of review and hearing of nuisance cases submitted for review by the City’s Neighborhood Service Centers. NAB Hearings are held monthly when needed at City Hall, 30 Church St.

A nuisance activity map provides access to all nuisance cases and information. This information will help the public and City employees assess nuisance property data for any geographical area and extract the data into a spreadsheet for analysis and reporting.
