Trustees discuss code-enforcement complaint at 2327 California citing tent occupancy and animals
Summary
Trustees reviewed a code-enforcement complaint at 2327 California where the property of record, Victor Garcia, is reportedly occupied by a person living in a tent with pigs, chickens and unregistered dogs; trustees discussed certified mailing, sheriff hand-delivery and referral to public-health authorities.
Trustees examined a code-enforcement matter involving 2327 California during the July 1 Morgan Township zoning meeting. Staff reported that Victor Garcia is the owner of record for the lot but that an occupant is living in a tent on the parcel with pigs, chickens and unregistered dogs; neighbors have complained about odor and an abandoned vehicle on the property.
Staff said neighbors reported animals exposed to heat and a lack of adequate shelter and that Butler County sheriff’s deputies have made contact. Trustees discussed procedural options for certified mailing of notices to the owner, the practical difficulty of mail delivery to the occupant, and the option of having a sheriff’s deputy hand‑deliver the notice so that the township can meet legal-service requirements.
The board also flagged public-health and animal-control concerns and noted that enforcement may require coordination with the county board of health. Trustees asked staff to pursue certified mailing and to work with the deputy handling the complaint to ensure proper notice and follow-up inspections.
No formal enforcement order was issued at the meeting; trustees described this as an active complaint that requires additional follow-up with the sheriff’s office and health authorities.
