Board of Nuisance Abatement Appeals Seeks Volunteer

Lakewood City Council is seeking an enthusiastic volunteer
to serve on the Board of Nuisance Abatement Appeals. Applicants must be residents of Lakewood, have the desire, and the availability to serve their
community.

In 2008 the City adopted a rigorous process for remediating issues of noise, litter, disorderly conduct, and matters of health and safety, among other issues related to quality of life. The City may declare a residential or commercial property a “nuisance” if the property owner fails to attend to these matters. The role of the Board of Nuisance Abatement Appeals is to decide resident appeals in determining whether the declaration of nuisance should be upheld. The Board meets annually and within 15 days of receiving an appeal.

The current vacancy is for an unexpired term ending 12/31/15.

A standard application form and information on the Board may be found at the following:

Additional information on the Board of Nuisance Appeals and the City’s process for declaring a nuisance may be
found within Chapter 510 of the Codified Ordinances of the city, available at the following:
