How about an Environmental Agency...I didn't request Fire Prevention this was forwarded to you....I will try for pictures...

I am renewing my complaint about 1019 Delwood backyard....the owner built a structure to house old paint and chemicals for his work...I am sure he did so w/out a building permit...and I expect staff to investigate whether he had the proper authorization for this storage structure and if he reported accurately his intended use of said structure...will this comment suffice as a complaint or do I start the process over? Doug

I am awaiting some action or information on the question of a building permit for 1019 Delwood...after my initial complaint a guy named John Thomas came out to "inspect" but no information was forthcoming...the building is less than a foot from my fence and is used to store chemicals and paint and his entire yard is way hazardous...if the city can't get in their and the fire dept won't I will go the the court of public opinion and publish my comaint in The Times Herald...not a threat, a promise...I expect an answer from my current comment...

I forwarded your concern to the Building Division and you can follow up with them directly at building.division@cityofvallejo.net or (707) 648-4374. More information about the division is on their webpage here: http://www.cityofvallejo.net/city_hall/departments___divisions/economic_development/building_division

Thank you for using SeeClickFix.

Why no mention of the fact I originally made the complaint on 4/10?
Why hasn't John Thomas responded as he was actually at the house for an inspection...How long will this take before I get a human response?
Justine this seems like a well meaning run around and I am concerned for my property as the structure is right up on my fence and loaded w/paint and chemicals...please respond....thanx

Thank you for your comment. SeeClickFix is for reporting non-emergency issues and yours appears to be more urgent. Please contact the Building Division directly at (707) 648-4374 or building.division@cityofvallejo.net as they do not have a presence on this forum. I forwarded the details of this post to them, but your direct follow-up is recommended in order to provide a first-person account of the issue.
Please contact Solano County's Environmental Health Services as soon as possible and alert them of the alleged safety hazard as your first-person account best serves any investigation into this matter.

Thanx Justine!

Doug, contact the Neighborhood Law Program and submit the intake form:

Also, keep a list of every contact you have had with the city of Vallejo employees. I assume you have discussed the issue with your neighbor. If so, document any conversations with your neighbor about this event, as well. Whatever you do, follow the law and keep pressing forward with your issue if you suspect that your neighbor's backyard harbors an environmental hazard to you and others. Just my opinion.

Thanx Top Dog...

SUMMARY OF THE CODE ENFORCEMENT PROCESS
After a violation is reported, a code enforcement officer is assigned to conduct an inspection, make a determination as to whether the report is valid or unfounded, open up a case and issue warnings and notices when valid and allow approximately 30 days for correction. If the property is still found to be non-compliant following the time allotted for correction and a second inspection, the code enforcement officer will continue with enforcement, which could include the issuance of a notice of violation or administrative citation. If a property owner continues to remain non-compliant, the Code Enforcement Officer can determine whether or not to move forward with obtaining a warrant to have contractors abate (fix) the violations on the property. While the enforcement process moves forward, simultaneously on the financial side, the property is liened for any nonpayment after 30 days, late fees are imposed on unpaid citations, and any unpaid fines are then assessed onto the owner’s property taxes as a special assessment.
