Dear Resident,

The site was inspected by the Department of Community Development on July 29, 2016 and the violation was confirmed. A violation notice was sent to the property owner with a correction date of August 4, 2016. Shortly before the correction date, the property owner contacted the Department of Community Development and requested an extension until August 13, 2016. The Department of Community Development will reinspect the property after the correction date and if the violation has not been corrected, additional enforcement action (issuance of civil infraction ticket) will be taken.
