Hearing Officer - Sept. 15, 2026

The City of Tempe Hearing Officer meeting held on September 15, 2026, focused primarily on property code violation abatements. The hearing officer reviewed three cases involving properties with issues such as junk, trash, graffiti, deteriorated landscaping, and overgrown vegetation. Inspectors from the City of Tempe Code Compliance Division presented evidence and requested 180-day open abatements for each property due to non-compliance and lack of owner response. No property owners or other public participants were present to contest the abatements. The hearing officer noted the ongoing violations and the city's authority to abate the properties if compliance is not achieved within the specified timeframe. No new contracts, procurement decisions, or budget allocations were discussed during the meeting.
