CODE ENFORCEMENT

Neighborhood Service’s office of Code Enforcement performs daily patrols of Revitalization Areas (Yuma High, Carver Park and Mesa Heights) watching for problems that may degrade and lessen the livability of neighborhoods.

Typical Violations

  • Public safety obstructions
  • Illegal dumping of trash or personal belongings
  • Inoperable motor vehicles
  • Uncontrolled vegetation
  • Vacant buildings that are open or improperly boarded up
  • Graffiti

A Typical Violation Process

When a problem is identified, the tenant or home owner is notified by mail. They are asked to correct the problem within 30 working days and re-inspections are conducted until the issue is resolved. If the violation is not corrected after 2 warnings, the issue is turned over to the City Prosecutor and finally to Municipal Court where fines could be levied.

If you see Graffiti in your neighborhood report it: Graffiti Hotline: (928) 329-2828 or via Yuma Click & Fix.
