In 2023, the City of Livingston underwent personnel restructuring and removed the Code Enforcement position from the Police Department.  The position is responsible for ensuring the city code compliance, which includes the 2-hour parking downtown, abandoned vehicles, trailers parked over the time allotment, blight, overgrown weeds, snow removal, along with other city codes.

Livingston's City code applies to all grass, weeds, bushes and trees on private property that are allowed to overgrow onto any public right-of-way, including planting strips, streets, sidewalks, and alleys. 

Tall weeds and grass not only contribute to blighted conditions in neighborhoods, but they can also harbor rodents, snakes, and other pests and block visibility for drivers.  Properties with overgrown vegetation are deemed a public nuisance and a safety hazard as they can make grass fires more dangerous for firefighters and families.
