How long can it take before junk and trash is cleaned up from a vacant lot or a lot containing an abandoned building after we notify the City?
The Property Maintenance Code gives the City the ability to expeditiously remove junk and trash from these types of properties. There is a general notice that appears once a year in the Beacon News informing owners and those in control of these vacant properties that if they fail to keep the premises clean of junk and trash, the City reserves the right to hire a hauling contractor who will clean the premises. The owner is then billed for this cost and if it is not paid, a lien is placed against the property. The property can be inspected within twenty four hours to verify the presence of junk and trash and the clean up may occur as soon as three days after your call.
