0 <br />Accomplishments: <br />I <br />• Have continued to improve procedures each year through reassignment of staff duties, streamlining <br />procedures and shortening time frames for compliance. <br />• To date have closed 93.4% of the 614 cases opened in 2010.- <br />o Cooperation from the public on correcting public nuisances is typically very positive. 82% have <br />complied with simple letter requests for compliance. <br />• Include in initial notices an informational brochure to educate residents about common public nuisance <br />violations in an effort to minimize violations through education and cooperation. <br />• When a violation is a building maintenance issue staff includes additional HRA Program information as <br />well as HRC Program information. <br />• Generating goodwill.- <br />o Have received many supportive comments from the public about the cooperative and respectful <br />approach staff takes when dealing with residents. <br />• The code enforcement program helps maintain the livability of neighborhoods. <br />• The code enforcement program helps maintain the city's tax base. <br />Observatioins:. <br />• Still observing where one public nuisance in an area tends to promote more of the same - a clustering <br />effect. <br />• Still observing more violations in neighborhoods of older homes; this is to be expected due to typically <br />smaller lots,, smaller garages and older construction. <br />• Some property maintenance cases remain difficult to resolve due to financial/physical hardship by the <br />property owner. Many of the unresolved 'pending' cases are of this type. <br />2010 Code Enforcement Report <br />Land Use Cases, Ending December 31, 2010 <br />Case Counts by Month <br />Type <br />Jan <br />Feb Mar Apr May June July Aug Sept <br />Oct <br />Nov <br />Dec <br />TOTAL, <br />Business <br />Cars <br />Debris <br />Residential <br />Signs <br />Weeds <br />22 <br />8 <br />0 <br />13 <br />19 8 14 7 3 2 4 3 <br />5 9 5 5 8 2 7 1 <br />0 9 2 9 6 5 3 3 <br />19 24 22 18 30 24 21 21 <br />1 <br />5 41 48 23 25 11 <br />1 <br />4 <br />1 <br />17 <br />2 <br />8 <br />2 <br />3 <br />26 <br />15 <br />4 <br />1 <br />15 <br />106 <br />60 <br />42 <br />250 <br />1 <br />155 <br />TOTAL 43 <br />43 50 48 80 96 56 60 39 <br />25 <br />39 <br />35 <br />6141 <br />Cases Opened/Closed by Month <br />Month <br />Jan <br />Feb Mar Apr May June July Aug Sept <br />Oct <br />Nov <br />Dec <br />TOTAL, <br />Opened <br />Closed <br />43 <br />44 <br />43 50 48 80 96 56 60 39 <br />45 49 46 55 102 56 53 39 <br />25 <br />22 <br />39 <br />33 <br />35 <br />29 <br />6141 <br />573 <br />Problem Cases in 2009 - Year to Date <br />Administrative Tickets <br />Accelerated Abatements ( Grass) <br />Council Approved Abatements <br />Council Approved Citations <br />10 <br />40 <br />16 <br />2 <br />TOTAL <br />68 <br />
