CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The city of Clearlake is continuing to move forward on cleaning up nuisance properties.
The Clearlake Police Department reported that, over the past week, four unsafe and nuisance properties within the city were abated and demolished.
Prior to the abatement of the properties, the Code Enforcement Bureau had active cases on all of the properties.
Due to a lack of property owner compliance, the Clearlake City Council ordered abatement of the properties.
Utilizing CalRecycle grant funding supplemented by city abatement funds, HD Excavating of Lower Lake was awarded the contract to complete the abatements, officials said.
The police department, which oversees Code Enforcement, said that this year the Code Enforcement Bureau has successfully abated 14 properties within the city. Once abated, the costs of said abatements become special assessments against each property.
“The City of Clearlake has zero tolerance for property owners who fail to abate hazard or nuisance properties. Those who continue to violate local, state or federal laws will receive fines and run the risk of having their property abated, with all costs becoming their responsibility,” the police department said in its report.
The agency added, “The Code Enforcement Bureau is dedicated to working with our community to provide solution oriented enforcement to promote and maintain clean, safe and prosperous conditions throughout the city.”
