Oceanside's code enforcement regulations address property blight including accumulated junk, debris, abandoned furniture and appliances, graffiti, peeling paint, broken windows, and unmaintained structures. Properties visible from public areas must be kept in a condition that does not detract from the neighborhood. The Code Enforcement Division at (760) 435-4500 responds to blight complaints and conducts proactive patrols. Property owners receive notice with a compliance deadline.
