Properties vacant 90 days or more with an active nuisance (tall grass, debris, broken windows) are subject to monthly inspections by the Department of Public Works Problem Properties Unit. Inspection costs are billed back to the owner as a special tax bill.
Vacant Property enforcement runs alongside the broader nuisance-abatement framework in Chapters 1110 (Property Maintenance) and 1120 (Public Nuisance). The Problem Properties Unit can be reached at (314) 615-5089. Once a property is in monthly-inspection status, owner must bring the property into compliance to exit the program. Sewer Lateral Repair Program (Chapter 1111) covers most sewer-line failures up to the main.
Monthly inspection fees added to property tax bill; up to $1,000/day for unabated nuisances.
