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 code violation at 60 Alta Dr, Watsonville 95076-1632, first cited on November 3, 2023, under case number NV25010, has now been resolved. The violation involved the unpermitted removal of trees in a sensitive habitat, indicating that the property owner removed trees without obtaining the necessary permits. This action violated local environmental and building regulations aimed at protecting sensitive ecological areas. As a result, the property owner has been assessed fees that they are required to pay to the county.
Roadwork is affecting traffic in the region
