About Code Violations

About Code Violations . . .

An OUNCE of prevention is worth a pound of CURE!!

Imagine you’re a Code Officer cruising a tract of homes . . . What are you looking for? DEAD LAWNS!! YOU can’t tell the lawn has been dyed and neither can the Code Officer!

Look, we realize your bank may have a $3000 allowance for landscape - but WHY stick your bank with it if you don’t have to? Banks grade REO Agents - and smart REO Agents sell the banks on themselves by saving the bank money!

By dying your REO lawns NOW you save the bank a code violation fine, a lien on the property, and about a $3,000 CURE!

Many cities ACCEPT dying the lawn as a remedy for a code violation. Unfortunately, Victorville has not accepted this yet. Be CLEAR, if you get the lawn green they won’t give a Code Violation. However, if they write it up first, they won’t accept dye for the correction . . . Crazy? They’ll come around. The trick is to get the lawn green at Muck-Out!!

Many cities DO accept it as a Code Violation Correction . . . More are accepting everyday . . .

Stockton, California for example: The city pays a contractor to spray the lawns when the bank doesn’t respond to the code violation, and they simply add the cost to the lien.

Adelanto next to Victorville accepts this as a code correction.

Victorville will and should eventually “come around” to this. After all, it’s THE ANSWER to STOP the slide of the city into becoming “FORECLOSURE FANTASIA!!”
