Code Enforcement Responds to 87 Calls in March Amid Construction Boom

During the recent City Council meeting on April 15, 2025, key discussions centered around code enforcement activities and the usage of the community's void center, both of which have significant implications for residents of Hollywood Park.

In March, the town's code enforcement officer, Angela, received a total of 87 calls regarding various code violations. Of these, 80 were initiated by Angela during her patrols, while 5 were reported by residents and 2 by others. The majority of the calls—71—were related to contractor issues, reflecting the ongoing construction activity in the area. Specific concerns included 21 calls about signage, 20 regarding building permits, and additional reports on brush violations, tree care, parking, and drainage issues. The council emphasized a balanced approach to enforcement, noting that while they aim to uphold regulations, they also strive to be reasonable and understanding in their approach.

The void center, a community facility, hosted 33 events in March, with a mix of weekday and weekend activities. This included events for residents, non-residents, businesses, and non-profits. The steady average of events over the past six months indicates a strong community interest in utilizing the space. However, the center, along with the town's pool, continues to operate at a deficit, prompting discussions about achieving revenue neutrality in the future.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the town's commitment to maintaining community standards through code enforcement while also fostering community engagement through the void center. As these initiatives develop, they aim to enhance the quality of life for residents in Hollywood Park.
