Full summary

The Department of Building and Safety has submitted a referral to Council seeking authorization to place a lien on the residential property at 2337 North Merrywood Drive. The lien is tied to Invoice 976070 and Case 976070, and is intended to recover unpaid costs the Department incurred in connection with building or safety code enforcement on the property. Assessors Parcel number 5567-031-015 identifies the subject property. When a property owner fails to comply with building code requirements or fails to pay Department-assessed fees for enforcement action, the city uses a lien as a collection tool. The lien attaches to the property deed and must be satisfied before the property can be sold or refinanced, creating financial pressure on the owner to settle the underlying obligation. The file was submitted by the Department of Building and Safety on June 11, 2026, and formally referred to Council on July 17, 2026. As of that same date, it remains in the Council pipeline with no subsequent committee assignment or action recorded. The file is set to expire on July 17, 2028, providing a two-year window for Council to act. No public hearing or vote has been scheduled.
