City staff outline code compliance steps, graffiti mitigation and illegal‑dumping reporting

Jul 15, 2026

City code compliance staff described enforcement steps for a vacant lot (10‑day compliance window), launched a graffiti mitigation program with up to $1,000 assistance for eligible owners, and urged reporting of illegal dumping via 911/311 and the city's waste reporting portal; a $500 reward was noted for reports that lead to citation or arrest.

The full story

City code compliance staff briefed attendees on enforcement and new assistance programs: a vacant lot was highlighted where two demolished structures had left an overgrown, unregistered parcel that attracts dumping; staff said property owners have 10 days to come into compliance, including clearing the swale and registering the lot with the City of Miami.
