The notice describes the infraction and what needs to be done to bring your property into compliance. It gives you the inspector's name and phone number in case you have questions. Typically, you have two weeks to correct a problem.
Inspectors are flexible on deadlines for corrections that are hard to accomplish within two weeks.
The City has two initiatives designed to maintain and improve neighborhood appearance while reducing complaints about properties violating City codes. The citywide Systematic Inspections Program involves two curbside inspections of all properties in the city throughout the year. Environmental Health Specialist Robert Servian believes the improvement is due, in part, to increased public awareness about city codes. Last year, we educated many property owners about infractions that existed on their properties. This year, a majority of these properties were in compliance with City code rules.
