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 48 Lupine Ln, Santa Cruz 95065, which was first cited for building code violations on February 1, 2023, under case number NV24849, has now addressed the issues. The violations involved grading a pathway across slopes greater than 30% without the necessary permits, resulting in a stopwork notice. To rectify these violations, a permit application (B-233508) was submitted, proposing the construction of a decomposed granite pathway with retaining wall structures, removal of unpermitted fill, relocation of an existing level spreader, and the implementation of erosion control measures and drainage mitigations. The county is currently monitoring compliance to ensure all corrective actions are properly executed.
     

Roadwork is affecting traffic in the region

  • The southbound lanes of Highway 1 in Capitola/Soquel are facing closures for road excavation. This closure will continue until 6:30 a.m. on August 29.
