front. I live paycheck to paycheck so I can only afford to mow my yard
once a month. It cost me fifty five dollars ($55) so if it rains a lot or a little,
there is not much I can do about that. Actually the lawn was mowed
today and - I did purchased house cleaner to clean off the black/moldy
issues on the side of the house. I am in process of doing what needs to
be done. If I can be afforded extra time to complete everything I will be
sure to contact Ms. Terri and let her know that everything has been taken

The Respondent was present.
Code Officer Guerra testified, "On June 11, 2020 I received a complaint
from two women walking regarding this residence and how the grass
was always extremely overgrown. They also advised the bushes in front
of the residence block the sidewalk. When I went to the property I
observed the same. The bushes were covering the sidewalk and there
were also weeds growing in the cracks of the sidewalk. There was black
and green growth on the front of the residence near the door. The wood
awning near the front door was falling apart and a few beams were
missing. There was yard waste on the sidewalk, paint was chipping off of
the wood pieces near the roof and NCV [Notice of Code Violation] was
sent to the owner. I also received a complaint from the neighbor of the
resident regarding the high grass as an ongoing issue. She advised she
was trying to sell her house and it is not helping her effort. On June 15,
2020 the Notice of Code Violation notice was left with individual. On the
notice, in regards to, the grass and bushes needed to be corrected
immediately.”
Code Officer Guerra continues with, “On June 18, 2020 I received another
call from the neighbor at 917 [Puma Trail] advising the grass was still out
of control. On June 22, 2020 I posted Attempt to Remedy at the property.
On July 7, 2020 I spoke with the neighbor and she advised the resident
had cut the grass. August 24, 2020 I received another complaint in
reference to the grass covering the sidewalk. September 8, 2020 I posted
the residence and City Hall with notice of Code Board. I also sent the
notice certified and first class. September 10, 2020 the notice was left
with individual per USPS website. There has been no contact from the

come into compliance. If no compliance is met after that
additional time, I ask that a fine of $250 per day until
compliance is met.
