Brief

The Department of Building and Safety initiated a lien action against the property at 9649 North Lemona Avenue (APN 2650-002-025) to recover unpaid citations or remediation costs under case 889152. Council received the matter in March 2026 and has continued it twice—most recently to June 30, 2026—without taking final action. The lien remains pending.

Full summary

The Department of Building and Safety filed this matter to place a lien against the residential property at 9649 North Lemona Avenue in response to alleged code violations. Liens of this type are typically issued when a property owner fails to pay fines or the costs of city-ordered abatement work—such as demolition, debris removal, or repair of safety hazards. The invoice number 806986-7 and case number 889152 suggest a specific violation history; however, the nature of the original violation is not detailed in the file. The Department submitted the lien documentation to the City Clerk on March 3, 2026. The item was then referred to Council on March 4, 2026. Council scheduled the matter for its April 22 meeting, but on that date voted to continue it to May 19. When May 19 arrived, Council again voted unanimously (15-0) to continue the item, this time to June 30, 2026. As of the last activity on May 19, 2026, the lien has not been formally approved or denied. The repeated continuations suggest either pending resolution negotiations with the property owner, outstanding information requests from Council, or administrative delays in processing. The file remains open with no expiration date until May 2028. If the matter is not resolved before then, it will be closed per Council rules.
