Finally, winter is over. Many residents are planning outdoor activities and are addressing routine outdoor maintenance issues. Code Enforcement Officers will soon be in your neighborhood identifying issues that you may be planning to address.

As part of the Curb Appeal Program, when an officer observes a violation, they will typically notify the resident with a door hanger. The Officer will follow-up with a written notice of the violation to homeowner. Notices are not tickets, they are designed to identify what needs to be addressed within a specific time frame. If a homeowner needs more time to address an issue, they can contact the Code Enforcement Unit and speak with the case officer.

The following are some common items requiring correction:

Tall grass and weeds over eight inches in height.
Garbage and recycling containers improperly stored in front of the home.
Driveways in serious disrepair.
Missing or torn window screens.
Rotted wood or peeling paint on the exterior.
Fences that are in disrepair.
Gutters and downspouts in disrepair.
Inoperable vehicles stored in driveways
Bare grass and ruts in lawn
Dead or dangerous trees on the property.

Any questions about property maintenance issues or the Curb Appeal Program should be directed to the Code Enforcement Unit at (630) 823-5570. Thank you for efforts in making Hanover Park a better place to live.
