Jeff Coleman, the CRA’s code compliance officer, told the board that 102 code enforcement cases were opened in May and June and that about 95% of those cases were complied with and closed during the reporting period.
Coleman said the two largest categories were health and sanitation (47 cases — litter, debris, outdoor storage and overgrowth) and sign violations (24 cases, including unpermitted banners and maintenance issues). He noted that approximately 96% of cases were the result of proactive enforcement and showed before-and-after photos of cleaned-up alleys, vacant lots and property maintenance work. "A total of a 102 code enforcement cases were opened during the reporting period of May and June," Coleman said.
The report was presented as an informational update; commissioners thanked staff for visible improvements in the CRA area.
