Elk Grove’s Spring Cleaning Program Hits The Streets Monday

ELK GROVE, CA – This spring, the City of Elk Grove will be turning up the heat on blight and nuisances throughout the City, as the second annual Spring Cleaning Program kicks off on March 2.

Over the next three months, the City of Elk Grove’s Community Enhancement team will be combing every street in Elk Grove, working proactively with the community to look for violations of the City’s codes, and then educating property owners to encourage voluntary compliance.

Community Enhancement Field Inspectors will be looking for properties with inoperable or abandoned vehicles, abandoned homes, unmaintained yards with high weeds and grass, or junk and debris. They’ll be encouraging residents to take a proactive approach with their property and take care of the violations.

“Unmaintained properties and neglected homes can have a negative impact on the quality of life for all Elk Grove residents,” said Mayor Pat Hume. "If residents work proactively with the City we can stave off blight and let the pride in our homes and neighborhoods shine as pride in our community. Together, we can keep Elk Grove beautiful.”

For more information, or to report a code violation, please call the City of Elk Grove’s Community Enhancement Department at 916-687-3023.
