The Cerritos Property Preservation Commission took significant steps to address property maintenance issues during its meeting on September 30, 2025. The commission unanimously adopted resolutions for multiple properties deemed to be in violation of municipal codes, ensuring that necessary repairs and maintenance will be enforced.

One of the key cases involved a property where inspections revealed ongoing non-compliance with repair and maintenance requirements. Despite multiple notifications sent to the property owner, including issues with structural elements and debris, the property remained in disrepair. The commission decided to adopt a resolution to formally recognize the property as a nuisance, allowing staff to work with the owner's grandson, who expressed intentions to address the violations from out of state.

Another property on Yelling Street was also discussed, where the owner had begun addressing some issues but still required more time to complete necessary repairs. The commission acknowledged the progress made but recommended adopting a resolution to ensure compliance, which was approved unanimously.

The commission addressed additional properties on Brent Street and Riva Street, both of which faced similar issues of inadequate landscape maintenance and ground cover. In these cases, the commission noted improvements but still recommended resolutions to ensure that the properties meet compliance standards.

Overall, the commission's actions reflect a commitment to maintaining community standards and addressing property nuisances effectively. The resolutions adopted will be forwarded to the city council and respective property owners, reinforcing the importance of property upkeep in Cerritos. The commission's proactive approach aims to foster a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing environment for all residents.
