The Department’s two part-time Housing Inspectors work in conjunction with Keene State College’s Coordinator of Student and Community Relations, the Keene Police Department’s College Liaison and the Keene Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Office to form the Keene Community Coalition. The Coalition works to identify neighborhood challenges and consider potential actions, to generate ideas and programs designed to build community and facilitate positive interaction between off-campus students, landlords, City officials and Keene residents while following the Keene State’s Code of Conduct. Along with the Coalition, the Inspectors run a voluntary inspection program for rental housing as well as work on property and housing standard issues through-out the City.

For any questions on inspections, please contact the office at (603) 352-5440.
