Accumulated refuse and debris means contained or uncontained refuse and debris that is present on the property in a manner not authorized by the Tucson Code.

End Date Description Inspector Results Comments
09/17/2019 INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT BERMUDEZ Approved ON SITE; found trash and debris in the front and rear yards to include the alley abutting the property. There is also a trailer filled with refuse and debris with flat tires in the alley abutting the property. I did not find any trash bags hanging on the fence. There is a shared fence between Neighbors and anything to do with ownership of the fence will be a civil issue. I will be sending a 10-day notice of violation to the property owner. I spoke with the tenants that reside on the property, they had advised inspector that all trash and debris and storage belongs to the property owner. They have indicated that they have asked the property owner several times to remove refuse, debris, outdoor storage, and the trailer. The property owner has not responded to their requests. I will also attempt to contact the property owner to advise them of the violations on the property.
12/23/2019 INSP - FOLLOW UP CODE ENFORCE BERMUDEZ Approved ON SITE; NO HOMELESS ACTIVITY FOUND ON OR AROUND THE PROPERTY. ALL REFUSE AND DEBRIS REMOVED AND PROPERTY APPEARS TO BE IN PROCESS OF CLEANING OUT AS TENANTS ARE NO LONGER IN UNIT. WINDOWS HAVE BEEN BOARDED AND PROPERTY APPEARS SECURE. WILL CLOSE CASE AT THIS TIME.
