Code Enforcement Authority - Nov 17, 2026
Two property owners missed compliance deadlines from earlier orders, and the board will decide whether daily fines should start accruing. Fines run $50-$100 per day plus $200 court costs, so costs escalate quickly for owners who ignore orders.
Code Enforcement Authority - Nov 3, 2026
Two properties (4005 King Arthur Dr and 3750 Cherry Laurel) failed to comply with prior code orders, so $50-a-day fines were set to begin the day of the meeting if approved. Three more cases cover trash service, broken windows, weeds and right-of-way upkeep. Residents near these properties have a stake in blight cleanup.
