Applicant:

MANUEL G. & JEANETTE RAMIREZ JT/RS

Description:

Jefferson Neighborhood has reached historic status. Homeowners are obligated to maintain their yard, sidewalks and easements. However, Jefferson Park homeowners have not been held liable for proper maintenance of their housing and yard. This noncompliance with Tucson laws requires force to be taken by Tucson officials to remediate yard problems within a reasonable amount of time. It is important to note that the city has neglected to patrol and cite or issue warnings to homeowners, so that they may comply with Tucson laws. To maintain and increase declining property values, it is essential that Homes be properly cared for and other homeowners are not victimized by lackadaisical attitudes and practices.
