City Encourages Resident Beautification Efforts

Frequently, the Community Preservation Division receives notification of potential alleged violations of the municipal code in areas such as: property maintenance, private property parking, zoning, yard sales, home occupation licensing and permits, sign codes, etc.  Each notification is investigated and treated confidentially.  Residents are encouraged to call the Community Preservation Hotline number at (562) 905-9694, if they would like to report a potential issue.
