I have noticed a variety of building code violations recently. These kinds of problems are addressed in the municipal code and should be corrected as quickly as is convenient (i.e. now).
Take this wall, for example. It was not built strong enough to withstand any type of collision, and you can see the result. This damage has been exposed for months. It's an eyesore, plus, imagine what's going to happen when the rains and floods return?
A comply with code order was filed for this residence. If they don't fix it within 20 days, they face fines, too.
Here's another residence that has structural failure. It's obvious that this fence has been leaning for decades. Who knows what will cause it to finally topple upon some helpless children on their way to school?
This residence was also notified for code violations. It might take them a bit longer to build a retaining wall to keep back that dirt, but they have no choice; the wall cannot be left as is.
This is a good notice to you residents who haven't had a visit from the code enforcement team. Please survey your property for possible violations or safety hazards, and correct them as quickly as is convenient. That will make our work that much easier.
