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 longstanding code violation at 125 Aptos Wharf Rd, Aptos 95003, first cited on April 23, 2018, under case number NV24067, has now been resolved. The violations included a remodel and an addition to the rear of the property—specifically, the construction of a second bathroom and a closet—completed without the required permits. Additionally, the initial building permit (BP# B-181968) did not account for new framing work that had been performed, and there was a discrepancy in the reported number of bathrooms, with only one existing bathroom found during inspection. The property owner was required to revise the building permit to address these issues and has now been assessed fees that must be paid to the county as part of the resolution process.
- A code violation notice has been issued for the property at 78 Arbolado Dr, La Selva Bch, CA 95076-1703. However, the only information currently available is that the text provided is an arrest log from the Santa Cruz Police Department and does not include any details about code compliance case number NV25386 or the nature of any building code violations for this property. No further information about the violation is available at this time.
