City of Vallejo assigned this issue to Code Enforcement Division

I just don't understand why Homeowners don't take care of their largest investment. Why do they let their property run down and sidewalks full of weeds? City should start camping down on these so called owners.

Thank you for reporting this issue! A Code Enforcement Officer has now been assigned to inspect the possible violation(s). You may visit eTRAKiT, our online tracking system, to view current case information for the Code Violations online at https://vall-trk.aspgov.com/eTRAKiT/ (please allow 4-6 weeks for the information to be updated).

SUMMARY OF THE CODE ENFORCEMENT PROCESS
After a violation is reported, a code enforcement officer is assigned to conduct an inspection, make a determination as to whether the report is valid or unfounded, open up a case and issue warnings and notices when valid and allow approximately 30 days for correction. If the property is still found to be non-compliant following the time allotted for correction and a second inspection, the code enforcement officer will continue with enforcement, which could include the issuance of a notice of violation or administrative citation. If a property owner continues to remain non-compliant, the Code Enforcement Officer can determine whether or not to move forward with obtaining a warrant to have contractors abate (fix) the violations on the property. While the enforcement process moves forward, simultaneously on the financial side, the property is liened for any nonpayment after 30 days, late fees are imposed on unpaid citations, and any unpaid fines are then assessed onto the owner’s property taxes as a special assessment.

Sometimes a knock on the door from a neighbor, before you turn them in, May answer the question “why do owners let it go?” Maybe a wife lost her husband or child, maybe an elderly couple is having health issue, maybe you, their neighbor could make a difference by stopping by and asking if they need help prior to making things worse by code enforcement? Just a thought. The govt is enlisting your help now to turn in, and turn against your neighbor regarding their private property rights. You may cause a more harm than good. All I ask is you pause for a moment and be a good neighbor first, rather than being “the bully enforcer”. Long grass and a pile of wood is not an evil of any substance compared to real life problems we encounter. Thanks
