Code Enforcement

ABOUT CODE ENFORCEMENT

Code Enforcement is a section of the Planning and Development Services Department that works with and helps empower the citizens of Vallejo to create, promote and maintain safe, attractive and high-quality living and working environments. Our purpose is to help improve our neighborhoods and economic conditions so that the City of Vallejo is known as a good place to live, raise families, work and retire in.

We are responsible for the enforcement of the following ordinances in the Vallejo Municipal Code:
Property Maintenance Ordinance
Vacant Building Ordinance (Residential Property Registration)
Vehicle Abatement Ordinance (on PRIVATE property)

COMMON CODE ENFORCEMENT VIOLATIONS

Each year, the Code Enforcement Division responds to thousands of complaints pertaining to property maintenance and other related violations. In most cases, investigations of code violations happen due to proactive code enforcement inspections or citizen complaints.

The types of violations that are typically inspected and reported include:

Junk, trash & debris on private properties
Deteriorated exteriors such as roofs, fences, and sidings
Unsecured and abandoned swimming pools
Vehicles parked on lawns and unpaved surfaces, inoperable/unregistered vehicles parked on private property
Trash bins blocking the sidewalk, strewn in the yard, placed on the sidewalk/street or driveway, too early or left out after 8:00 p.m. on service day
Graffiti on private properties
Weeds & overgrown vegetation on developed properties
Vacant buildings
Abandoned shopping carts
Inhabited trailers on private properties (or trailers hooked up to a private property)
Illegal vehicle repair businesses
