Nuisance violations, outlined in Chapter 12 of the City’s Code of Ordinances, prevents property owners from having any of the following on their property: • Grass and/or weeds 10” inches or more in height.
As residents get out more to enjoy the nicer weather, they will begin to notice sidewalks that are broken, unleveled and/or safety hazards. Sidewalk repairs are the responsibility of the abutting property owner. Please make sure that your sidewalk is safe for others to travel on. You can find more information on sidewalks in Chapter 17 of the Code of Ordinances. You can report suspected violations by calling LexCall at 3-1-1 or (859) 425-2255. You can also submit this request online.
