Code enforcement officers manage a broad range of responsibilities, including business license verification, zoning permit enforcement, monitoring property maintenance, and addressing dilapidated or abandoned structures. Their daily operations begin with team follow-ups to coordinate ongoing cases before moving into inspections and enforcement throughout the community.
As a reminder, under City Ordinance Chapter 290-4, all property owners are required to maintain weeds below four inches, even on vacant lots. Property owners are also responsible for maintaining alleyways from their property line to the center of the alley.
Residents should note that inoperable vehicles on public roadways are now handled by the Las Vegas Police Department and can be reported at 505-454-7504.
Electrical hazards involving power lines should be directed to PNM at 1-888-DIAL-PNM.
