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 compliance case (NV25295) for the property at 1179 San Andreas Rd, Watsonville, was first cited on September 24, for unpermitted grading and vegetation removal within the habitat range of the long-toed salamander, a protected species. These activities were conducted without the necessary permits, constituting violations of both local building/grading codes and environmental protection regulations. County officials have confirmed that the cited violations have now been addressed, and the property is currently under ongoing monitoring to ensure continued compliance.
