Case # Case Date Case Status Address of Violation Description Notes 465 8/21/2025 City Attorney 6 Saddleback Rd. Dilapidated fence and portable toilet
City Council authorized abatement of fence
and portable toilet on July 27. Staff is
working on next steps.
453 5/1/2025 City Attorney 6 Running Brand Rd. Collapsed retaining wall Code Compliance Officer Johnson and Planning Manager Berry conducted a followup investigation on the property. The desired debris has been removed. Due to
the nature of the wall still retaining large
portions of the hill, staff has determined
that removing the wall is not a reasonable
request within the scope of the code case.
However, due to the nature of the damage
and disrepair, city staff have elected to alert
the County Building to the status of the
building for it to be potentially red tagged.
With this in mind, the property is no longer
considered a Code Compliance matter, and
the case was officially closed effective July 1,
2026. The property will be reflected as
closed in the third quarter Code Compliance
Update.
443 2/27/25 City Attorney 77 Portuguese Bend Rd. Dried & overgrown vegetation Owners have made clean-up progress; City Staff are working to investigate options for
