Resident calls on Montclair to enforce codes at 9775 Coalinga Avenue after repeated complaints
Summary
At the council's public comment period, resident Susan Elias asked the city to record repeated noise and code-enforcement complaints about 9775 Coalinga Avenue, alleging persistent illegal parking (including a box truck she said exceeds 10,000 pounds), trailers, a rooster, and repeated fireworks; city manager Star said staff will look into the matter.
During the council's public comment period, Susan Elias described repeated nuisance and code enforcement concerns at 9775 Coalinga Avenue and asked the council to put the complaint on the record.
Elias said residents have called police and code enforcement numerous times about "excessive and repeated code violations," and she listed alleged problems including a box truck she said is "over 10,000 pounds" parked in the neighborhood since April 10, trailers and jet skis left on the street overnight without permits, a rooster she said is constantly crowing (which she said the city code forbids), and illegal aerial fireworks on July 4 that she said endangered neighbors and left debris in yards.
Elias noted she had recorded incidents on video and said multiple calls and emails to code enforcement had produced no response or update. "What good are the codes and code sections in the city if the city does nothing to enforce them?" she asked.
Mayor Dutre asked City manager Star to investigate and log the complaint; Star responded, "I will do that." No formal action or motion was taken during the meeting; the item was recorded during public comment for staff follow-up.
The address cited by the speaker was 9775 Coalinga Avenue. City staff did not provide an enforcement outcome during the meeting; the council did not vote on enforcement action.
