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.
- A code violation notice has been issued for the property at 5819 Soquel Dr., Soquel, under case number NV25375, which was opened on June 9. The violation involves “Construction and repair to commercial building without permits,” meaning that construction or repair work was performed on the commercial building without first obtaining the necessary building permits from the County of Santa Cruz. As a result, a Notice and Order has been issued to the property owner or occupant, and CUREC fees (code enforcement fees) now apply. This violation is a breach of local building codes and regulations concerning unpermitted work.
