Lodi enforces property maintenance through LMC Title 8 (Health and Safety) and Title 17 zoning standards. Common violations include accumulated junk and rubbish, household appliances/furniture visible from the street, overgrown vegetation, and inoperable vehicles in driveways.
Lodi's Community Improvement Division enforces a property-maintenance program under LMC Title 8 and Title 17. The published common-violations list includes accumulated junk and rubbish; discarded appliances/furniture that must be stored out of public view; overgrown grass (over 12 inches); shrubs/trees not maintaining 10-foot clearance over sidewalks or 13-foot clearance over streets; recreational equipment such as basketball hoops in the right-of-way; inoperable vehicles missing tires, engines, or registration; and vehicles parked on unimproved surfaces or front lawns. Notices give a stated period to abate, after which the city can pursue administrative citation and, for severe nuisances, abatement at the owner's expense recorded as a lien.
Property-maintenance violations are enforced as infractions through administrative citations beginning at $100 ($200 second, $500 third within one year). Severe or unabated nuisances can result in city abatement and lien recordation.
