Applications are now open for the 2026 Code Enforcement Academy, a free five-session virtual program hosted by NPU University.
The academy gives Atlanta residents and City employees a practical look at how code enforcement issues are identified, reported, tracked, and resolved—and how that work supports cleaner, safer, and more thriving neighborhoods.
Participants will hear directly from City departments and learn more about topics including premise violations, substandard structures, illegal dumping, ATL 311, zoning and permits, the court process, and how City agencies work together to address neighborhood concerns.
📅 Begins: Thursday, September 10, 2026 🕕 Time: 6:00–8:00 p.m. 💻 Location: Zoom 📚 Schedule: Every other Thursday for five sessions
