Code enforcement is all over my owner finance buyer. She is on agreement for deed so legally she has beneficial right to the property although the deed is in my name.
Code enforcement has been on her to keep the property clean. I have been over there a couple of times because of notices left on my door about it. Well I have now received 2 tickets for a total of 5 violations! One of the violations was a brush pile in the back yard consisting of about 10 limbs from a small tree. I met with them Wednesday to go over the violations and propose a solution but I still have to go to court. I asked the lady that wrote the tickets if I can request a Jury trial and she said yes. first step is a pretrial meeting with the city attorney.
Section 4.01 Abatement by Owner - Duty
It shall be the duty of the owner, occupant or person otherwise having supervision or control of any lot, tract or parcel of land or portion thereof, or any building or portion thereof, whether occupied or unoccupied, improved or unimproved, on or in which any condition prohibited in Article II of this Chapter is found to exist, to remove or cause to be removed the prohibited nuisance at no cost to the City of Arlington. Failure to so remove or cause to be removed such a nuisance after notice to do so by said City shall constitute a misdemeanor.
I am trying to figure out how they can write me and the buyer a ticket for the same offense. Over the next couple of weeks I will transfer that property to a trust and make it difficult to find the owner. Should solve the problem in the future.
anybody else have problems like this?
