Comments
The total numbers of complaints we received are consistent with past years. As summer
approaches, the long grass/lawn maintenance complaints will increase. The city council
approved a $250.00 abatement fee which staff charges to help recoup some of the cost
of increased complaints due to home vacancies.
* Often times, there are several issues or problems at a given violation site or address.
The 99 count relates to the number of addresses visited by staff while enforcing
violations, although, there were 145 violations enforced.
