To keep Plainview safe and free from various nuisance violations, the City of Plainview Code Enforcement Department will begin conducting a sweep – a concerted effort to address a variety of existing code violations – beginning Saturday, June 1st.
The sweeps will begin in an area from 13th Street to Industrial Boulevard, Columbia Street to Quincy Street and 24th Street from Quincy to Ennis Street west of I-27.
The sweeps provide an opportunity to educate citizens of possible violations and allow citizens the opportunity to address them. Citizens in the area will be sent notification letters detailing the type of code enforcement violations to be addressed, along with information about Loan-A-Tub placement.
Concerted nuisance violations for the sweep include inoperable or junked vehicles, improperly parked vehicles, accumulation of rubbish such as trash, refuse, junk, lumber, and other abandoned materials, obstructed views of street corners, overgrown weeds or grass and scrap tires.
Loan-A-Tubs will be stationed at Lakeside Park (16th Street and Joliet) and corner of Comanche and Lexington Street and West 30th Street and Castro Street, beginning Saturday, June 1st through Sunday, June 9th.
Items that will be allowed at the drop-off include: Furniture, Small Appliances, Household Items, Trash/Debris, Tree Limbs/Grass Clippings, and Electronics (no batteries) including TVs, microwaves, computers and other items considered as E-Waste. No commercial dumping will be allowed.
Since 2019, the City of Plainview Code Enforcement has conducted eleven sweeps covering every section of town at least twice. The selection of neighborhoods follows a rotation list to ensure all areas are included.
