FY 2022 Code Enforcement Abatement Contractors

The Contractor will pick up all trash, debris, wood, etc. on each parcel prior to cutting the lot. Any trash in excess of a 96 gallon trash container will be considered an extra charge and subject to additional fees. All trash is required to be removed upon completion of the job. If trash and debris is in excess of the description, immediately contact the Code Enforcement Officer who assigned the work to you for clarification before authorization to the extra charge is granted for that parcel. Failure to obtain prior approval can result in nonpayment of any claimed or additional work. All vegetation (i.e. grass, weeds, vines, and items of the like kind) will be cut to a height of no more than two (2) inches. All parcels will be trimmed and edged to curb. Grass clippings should not be blown out to roadways nor into storm water drains. If clumps of vegetation exist or remain they should be smoothed or leveled out in order to even out the property with no mounds of clippings remaining after conclusion of cutting. If the parcel becomes a scheduled cut and is deemed a chronic violator under the Code Enforcement standards, you are authorized to spray and maintain the property for weed control and overgrowth of excessive vegetation in order to assist you in your routine efforts. Your efforts and cost analysis must be approved by the Code Enforcement Division staff before this steps can be taken. Failure to obtain prior approval can result in nonpayment of any claimed additional work. Ifthe parcel needs to be abated with a grass and weed height greater than 3 feet (36 inches) tall, this will be considered an excessive cut to bring the property to compliance to obtain the 2 inch height. This is a one-time fee not subject to accumulation unless authorized by the Code Enforcement Division Staff. If you, as a contractor, approach a parcel and are unsure of vegetation height, contact the assigning Code Enforcement staff prior to beginning work. It is your responsibility to obtain authorization for any additional height charge prior to beginning work. Failure to get prior approval for work will result in forfeiture of payment for the additional height charge.
