The Vallejo Code Enforcement Appeals Board convened on July 24, 2025, to address ongoing issues related to property maintenance violations at a site owned by Hadar Weitzman. The meeting focused on a series of inspections and enforcement actions taken by code enforcement officers regarding the property, which has been cited for multiple violations of the Vallejo municipal code.
Senior Code Enforcement Officer Lorena Burciaga first inspected the property on August 27, 2024, after receiving a complaint. The inspection revealed significant issues, including a boarded-up building, junk and debris, overgrown vegetation, and graffiti. Following this inspection, a warning notice was sent to Weitzman, providing a deadline of October 4, 2024, to address the violations.
Despite subsequent inspections and additional notices of violation issued by Officer James O'Brien, the property remained in a state of disrepair. Weitzman requested extensions to remediate the violations due to personal circumstances, including the passing of his mother. Although some progress was made, including the removal of graffiti, ongoing issues persisted, leading to further citations.
By May 2025, the situation had escalated, with Weitzman appealing a second administrative citation issued for continued violations. The appeal process was initiated, and a hearing was scheduled. During the meeting, Officer O'Brien reported that recent inspections still revealed graffiti, trash, and debris on the property, indicating that compliance had not been fully achieved.
The board's discussions highlighted the challenges of enforcing property maintenance codes and the importance of community standards in maintaining neighborhood safety and aesthetics. The outcome of the appeal and any further actions by the board remain to be determined, as the city continues to seek resolution to the ongoing violations at Weitzman's property.
