Hearing Officer - March 17, 2026

The Tempe City Hearing Officer meeting held on March 17, 2026, focused primarily on code compliance enforcement related to property abatements. The hearing officer reviewed several cases involving public nuisance violations such as overgrown grass and weeds, deteriorated landscaping, and accumulation of junk or debris on properties within the city. For three properties—702 West House Avenue, 4710 South Lar Roza Drive, and 107 East Broadway Road—the hearing officer approved 180-day open abatements due to ongoing violations and lack of compliance by property owners despite multiple notices and citations. No appeals or property owner representatives were present for these cases. The meeting did not include any direct procurement, contracting, or budget discussions but involved enforcement actions that could lead to city-initiated abatement work and associated cost recovery from property owners.
