Dallas Code Compliance staff goes door-to-door in Oak Cliff for 'All Hands on Deck' community event

The staff with Dallas Code Compliance is focusing on visibility and community engagement.

About 200 workers spent Wednesday morning saturating neighborhoods across the southern Dallas zip code 75203.

They showed up for the "All Hands on Deck Community Initiative."

“Today, we’re engaging with the community,” said Adrian Allen.

Workers walked streets, going door-to-door, passing out educational literature and information about resources available to residents.

“A lot of times, CODE officers get a bad rap. We’re trying to change that perception,” said Allen.

The department's presence was less about issuing citations and warnings. It was more about education and community engagement.

This isn't meant to help locals but to help The out-of-state property investors that want to drive out OC locals. Follow the Money 💰.
