LIMA PRIDE HOMES RECOGNIZED

AWARDS GIVEN FOR EXEMPLARY PROPERTY MAINTENANCE

Home Pride

Four times each year Lima property owners may be recognized for maintaining their homes as models for their community. In 1996, the first Lima Home Pride Awards were presented by Lima Property Maintenance Code Inspectors to illustrate the positive impact of well maintained properties within the community. The awards program was developed by City employees involved in the 1995 Neighborhood Support Strategic Planning process to recognize persons who take pride in their homes and commercial properties and maintain them in a way that provides a positive example for the rest of the community. This employee initiated program allows each of the City's Property Maintenance Code Inspectors to select properties within their sector which exemplify quality property maintenance.

Selected properties must meet current Lima Property Maintenance Code standards, the property owner may have no property maintenance violations on any properties they own, and the selected property must exemplify pride in ownership and provide a model of maintenance for the neighborhood. Selections are the prerogative of the Property Maintenance Code Inspector responsible for the neighborhood sector. Each Inspector may nominate one home each quarter from which the property to be recognized is chosen by consensus of the Inspectors.  Neighborhood Support Manager Amy Sackman Odum notes "There are beautiful homes and buildings all through the community that are never recognized for what they contribute to the quality of life in Lima. The Lima Pride Homes Awards demonstrate that with care and creativity , a property owner can play a valuable part in improving our neighborhoods."

Award winners are presented with a Lima Pride Home Plaque with a photograph of their home, and a Lima Pride Home Award winner yard sign to be displayed at their property until the next winner is selected.
