This city does not want to spend one penny that they don’t have to. Seeking “Voluntary compliance“ from property owners and that old stump speech is not working when the owner does not reply.

This location is a disgrace to Vallejo. Something needs to be done here. These folks need to be moved on from here. This is not only a horrible blight but the trash and human waste is polluting a protected wetland. Why does no one at the COV care?

William, not that others and myself don’t appreciate your reporting this and other encampments but, reporting it additionally two times week when we already know they have an eTRAKiT case that isn’t going to be followed up till the end of the month....
We know what the response will be from SCF and code enforcement. So more power to you but I don’t think it’s going to do any good. At this point the best thing we can do is absolutely be laser focused on making sure this is followed up and the inspection occurs on time. No more falling through the cracks or being accidentally attached to the wrong property or closed after an adjacent encampment was cleared.

We can try to get news media attention here. Focused on marsh/wetland pollution and the lack of shelters in Solano County.

We the people ask that you resolve this problem now. No more kicking the can down the road. No more “looking into it”. Please just remove the encampments and their filth immediately. Then perhaps look into finding housing, shelters, or city sanctioned tent cities with facilities.

Thank you for reporting! Code Enforcement Officer Sidie has an active case on the property, case reference #CE19-0249, and has issued the owner a Notice of Violation (including a fine). A re-inspection is scheduled on 4/22/2019.

You may visit our online tracking system, eTRAKiT, to view updates on current cases at http://web.ci.vallejo.ca.us/eTRAKiT3/ (please allow several business days for information to upload). SeeClickFix is one of the many tools available to the citizens of Vallejo to report non-emergency issues. We “close” an issue in SeeClickFix once we've acknowledged the complaint; however, this issue is not "Closed" per se; it will remain an "Open" case with us until it is corrected. If there is anything else we can assist you with, please let us know. Thank you for using SeeClickFix!

This should only be closed after the vagrants rere removed and the site is properly cleaned up. Please stop giving us the run around and just solve the problem.

A re-inspection? Really! This has been going on for months and now the camps have progressed 100 yards down up against the retaining wall, which i have reported also. One camp leads to another then another, city cant seem to stop this from happening even when its being reported. This will probably take another 2 or 3 months to address at the rate the way the city deals with these problems. The camps will compound and once there dismantled its just a matter of time before they spring up again and the whole process starts again! The property owner is not being held accountable for their property. If the city made the fines big enough that the owners wouldnt want to keep paying them, maybe they would be more conscious of their property upkeep. Just a thought!

By no means is this an excuse but,
-the property owner has the right of due process, that means being notified, warrant, and finEd
-the city should seek voluntary compliance instead of continually paying for it out of our budget,
- having botched this location, code enforcement has extended the process by almost a year.
-!the problem being if the property owner does not respond, the process becomes even slower. And there doesn’t seem to be a real time limit or any city code with enough teeth to get quicker responses.

Believe me, I’ve tried repeatedly by going in and speaking to our community services & code enforcement officers. They’ve always been very helpful in explaining the process and the limitations of what they can actually do. It doesn’t mean you have to like it, neither do I, but that’s what we’ve got to work with

If the city does not hear back from these property owners in a set time period, they, the COV, should lean the owner. If the owner doesnt respond, take the property away from through legal recourse. This has to stop. The city to me seems to have no urgency in cleaning up this town. I can bet by the end of the month there will be more camps along the wall and more camps in the field!

Yeah, that’s pretty much what they do William. Unfortunately I have seen neighborhood law take years to wrestle somebody’s property away. When they do manage to get something done it’s posted and touted as a big success. So be prepared for 1 or 2 years in the system- if it goes that route.

As previously mentioned, we “close” an issue in SeeClickFix once we've acknowledged the complaint; however, this issue is not "Closed" per se; it will remain an "Open" case with us until it is corrected.

To provide a little insight on our process, all property owners are initially provided warnings. If do not respond within the given timeframe on the Warning Notices we send them, a Notice of Violation and/or a citation (both notice types include fines) may be issued and if not paid on time, a lien is placed against the property. If the property owner continues to ignore these notices, fines, and liens, then the City of Vallejo may seek to obtain a warrant to abate the issues. The fines and liens are then assessed onto the property taxes. All tenants/occupants/banks/lenders/interested parties are also contacted throughout this entire process, however, the ultimate responsibility lies with the person(s) and/or entity on the title/deed.

The system should say, acknowledged pending closure, not CLOSED.
