Brief

The Department of Building and Safety has filed for a lien against the property at 6624 South 2nd Avenue (Assessor's Parcel 4008-002-014) to recover unpaid invoices totaling approximately $887,840 and $894,052. The file was referred to Council on July 17, 2026, and remains open. This is a standard collection mechanism for code enforcement work, fines, or hazard abatement performed by the city.

Full summary

The Department of Building and Safety has initiated a lien action against 6624 South 2nd Avenue to recover outstanding costs related to building code violations or property maintenance failures. Two invoices are referenced—887840 and 894052—suggesting accumulated citations, penalties, and abatement costs the property owner has not paid. The city uses such liens as a collection tool: when a property is sold or refinanced, the lien must be satisfied before the transaction closes, ensuring the city recovers funds spent on code enforcement, demolition, hazard removal, or other corrective work. The file was submitted by the Department of Building and Safety on May 14, 2026, and formally referred to Council on July 17, 2026. It is currently open with no additional committee activity or public hearing scheduled. The file does not expire until July 17, 2028, giving the city two years to pursue the lien through the standard legislative process. No details about the specific violations, the property condition, or the underlying circumstances are included in the public record summary. The file exists primarily as a formal notice that the city intends to encumber the property. Council action—typically approval by the appropriate committee or full Council—is required to formally record the lien against the Assessor's Parcel.
