JUNE 2021 CODE COMPLIANCE REPORT
FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION
Total number of service requests completed 89
Total number of inspections completed 343
Total number of Courtesy Notice of Violation (CNOV) issued 114
Total number of Citations issued 34
Total dollar amount of citations issued $20,600
Code Compliance Synopsis
• On Tuesday, June 1st Code Compliance Officer, Linda Human had an appeal hearing with a
street vendor, Jessica Sellers (Flashy Fashions), for an administrative citation that was issued to
her for violating the new sidewalk vendor ordinance. After the hearing was concluded, the
appointed hearing officer deemed the issued citation to be upheld for the 5.28.085 sidewalk
vendor ordinance.
• Compliance Officer Human inspected 66072 14th Street. This property is a public nuisance and
deemed substandard. A public hearing declared an RV in the side yard “in-operable”, and
ordered it removed. Upon re-inspection, the RV was voluntarily removed by the occupants.
• Compliance Officers Messer and Human distributed “Illegal Fireworks” flyers to businesses
located within the city. The flyer informs residents that there is a $1,000.00 fine for discharging
illegal fireworks. The flyer also provides contact information for anyone who would like to report
the illegal discharge of a firework.
• Code Compliance Officers will be conducting illegal firework patrol shifts in tandem with
Police Officers July 1st through July 4th.
• Compliance Manager Newsom attended trial for the abandoned property at 1130 Palm Dr.
The trial was continued for two months due to the property being sold at the recent County
tax auction. The new owners will stand trial for the ongoing violations.
