Building Department Issues Abatement Notice for High School Property Cleanup

Concerns over property maintenance and animal welfare took center stage at the recent Code Enforcement Advisory Committee meeting in Englewood City, Colorado. The committee discussed ongoing efforts to address a property near a local high school that is currently in the notice process for cleanup. Committee members noted that the building department is actively involved, and while the property has seen some improvements, further cleanup is still necessary.

In a related discussion, the committee addressed the issue of animal forfeiture. Members sought clarity on the number of lost dogs and the rate of unclaimed animals. It was confirmed that in 2024, no owners were unable to reclaim their dogs due to financial constraints, indicating a positive outcome for pet owners seeking to reunite with their lost pets.

These discussions highlight the committee's commitment to maintaining community standards and ensuring the welfare of animals in Englewood City. As cleanup efforts continue and animal welfare policies are upheld, residents can expect ongoing attention to these important issues.
