Filed a complaint about major safety issues in my home that I'm renting with small children, was told someone would get back to me in 15 days, its been 2 months and I love the general lack of concern you guys have not just for my house but for the area of 92 after county line, its still your district I know its a real eye sore with all the illegal dumped trash, couches , overgrown grass and a and homes and motels but after all you do get paid to fix these issues.

Questions & Answers

Living in a trailer park that doesn't allow you to have a boat (because of critters) I get that. But you allow empty run down unlivable trailers in the park? So profound and unethical! What's the code for that?

Are Code Enforcers allowed to stand on something to look over the privacy fence. Then citd us?

So this is a little tricky. If you can not see the issue from the right away, road or neighbors property unassisted then you can not be sited. Think of it like this, if they heard you had a missing wall plate in your house and entered your house illegally... That doesn't work they need a warrant etc, so if they can not see the infraction they can not site you. Take a look at the photos they showed you to prove you couldn't see the issue without assistance

Can code enforcement do anything about the condition of the inside of rental property

Pam Whaley | Sep 15, 2021

Best to have Sheriffs office conduct an investigation based on reasonable suspicion if the living conditions are unbearable... court would be your best choice to evict the tenant... which will take a while...

Monty Zimmerman Sr. | Sep 16, 2019
Jackie Robinson II | Sep 16, 2019

Habitable, yes, violation of codes, yes. You need to report the violation to code enforcement. If you are a renter the owner will be served and required to fix the issies. If they don't they can fine the owner a daily fee, impose a lien and even forcloure on the property.
