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 compliance case NV25361 for 10535 West Dr., Felton, first cited on April 15, has now been addressed, according to county officials. The original violations included non-permitted construction of a single-family dwelling—meaning building work was underway without the necessary permits or approvals—and unauthorized occupancy of a parcel officially designated as vacant, as indicated by the presence of a tent and patio furniture on the site. The county is continuing to monitor the property to ensure ongoing compliance with all applicable building and occupancy regulations.
