Property code violations

County officials cite property owners for issues such as substandard housing, illegal uses of buildings, property maintenance, abandoned appliances or furniture, construction without permits, and other issues that affect public safety and quality of life.

  • The property at 17010 Villa Glen Dr, Los Gatos, was cited for building code violations under case number NV25358, resulting in a “Notice and Order” issued by the County of Santa Cruz on April 3. While the specific details of the violations—such as whether they involved unpermitted construction, safety hazards, or zoning issues—were not included in the available report, the issuance of a “Notice and Order” indicates that the violations were significant enough to require formal enforcement action. County officials have confirmed that the cited issues have now been addressed by the property owner, and the county is continuing to monitor the site to ensure ongoing compliance with all applicable building codes and regulations.
