San Bernardino County Code Enforcement investigates complaints and provides a time frame for correction based on violation type. Health and safety violations are prioritized for faster response, while routine violations may take 5-10 business days for initial investigation.
Once a complaint is filed with San Bernardino County Code Enforcement, an inspector is assigned to verify the violation. Health and safety hazards (structural instability, raw sewage, fire hazards) are prioritized for investigation within 1-3 business days. Routine violations such as overgrown vegetation, junk vehicles, and property maintenance issues are typically investigated within 5-10 business days. After verification, a responsible party receives a Notice of Violation with a time frame to correct the problem, which varies by violation type — typically 10-30 days for minor issues, up to 90 days for major structural repairs. Failure to correct within the specified period results in escalation to administrative citations or legal action.
Administrative citations escalate from $100 (first) to $200 (second) to $500 (third and subsequent) within a 12-month period. Abatement by the county results in costs plus administrative fees billed to the property owner, with potential property liens.
