Property Maintenance
 To
promote a safe and clean city, several nuisance abatement
codes are enforced by the Division of Property Maintenance.
Some of the property maintenance standards enforced include:
- trash accumulation in yards, sidewalks
and alleys;
- grass and weeds taller than a foot
in height and shrubs and weeds that protrude into the sidewalks,
street and alleys;
- inoperable vehicles on private property
that have neither a current license plate or sticker or
are not kept in a garage out of the public view;
- all structures (including houses,
fences, walls, sheds and garages) that are not structurally
sound and in good repair.
For additional information regarding property maintenance requirements, you may review
the Guidelines for Property Maintenance Codes in the City of Richmond.
The Division also issues Demolition
Permits and Certificates
of Occupancy for residential uses.
