Englewood requires residential grounds to be kept trimmed and free of overgrowth so that conditions do not deteriorate or harm neighboring properties.
Englewood's property maintenance code requires owners of residential properties to keep grounds, lawns, shrubs, and bushes trimmed and not overgrown or unsightly. The standard explicitly addresses conditions likely to have a deteriorating effect on neighboring properties. Combined with the brush, grass, and weeds chapter, the city can compel cutting and abatement on properties allowed to fall into disrepair. Owners and operators bear duties under the property maintenance chapter to keep exteriors safe and sanitary.
Overgrown lawns, unsightly shrubs, accumulated debris on grounds, or untrimmed vegetation harming neighbors trigger citations and abatement orders.
