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 151 Church St., Davenport, which was first cited on July 21, 2023, for building code violations under case number NV24940, has now addressed the issues identified. The violations included the construction of a structure on federal property without obtaining the necessary permits, as well as unpermitted electrical and plumbing upgrades to the same structure. The county is actively monitoring the property to ensure ongoing compliance with all relevant regulations.
