St. Peters Police will be mailing warnings to St. Peters residents who violate city vehicle codes during the week of Aug. 12 to give those residents a chance to correct the problem and avoid a ticket.
The police check neighborhoods for code violations periodically, according to a press release from the city.
“This is a soft approach to code enforcement with the idea that most residents will correct a code violation if they know the law,” said Maj. Jeff Finkelstein in a press release. “We don’t want to use the courts to correct the problem if we don’t have to.”
