Property Inspectors Making Their Rounds Again

Some cities that had to reduce staff to balance their budgets have recovered enough to re-staff some positions.  One area that was hard hit were the property inspectors.  The rules about unsightly properties were relaxed and the normal inspections and fines were let slide in some cases.

That has begun to change.  If you have some vacant rental properties that you have let deteriorate now might be the time to do a quick clean-up to avoid being fined.  In the past the property owners and managers were warned of the condition and given time to make corrections as a courtesy.

The cities still need funds and fines are always a good source of revenue.  In some cases a citation carries an immediate fine for having committed certain types of common violations, namely those that cause certain hazardous conditions in housing or unsightly conditions for or on neighboring properties.

In the past only those complaints of vegetation overgrowth that indicate a hazardous situation such as blocked traffic visibility or overgrowth that forces pedestrians off the sidewalk into the street would be subject to fines. Other violations of the Weeds and Vegetation Code will be recorded and information about code requirements sent to the property owner or occupant responsible for the site as a warning.  Corrections will be required within a time period contained on the warning.

A person who has not had previous violations of these types is usually given an opportunity to correct the violation and thus avoid the issuance of a citation. For those who receive a citation, preset penalties may be imposed immediately which increase with repeat offenses. The citation process provides the violator with an opportunity for a hearing to contest the violation or request mitigation of the penalty.
