HELP! SPRING HAS ARRIVED As Spring returns and brings us warmer weather, it also

brings the growing season, with pollen and those pesky weeds that can be seen popping up in driveways, sidewalks, and lawns. Spring is also Mother Nature’s call to begin “Spring Cleaning” around our homes. This is a good time of year to begin buttoning up any exterior maintenance items, including pressure washing, repairing loose shutters, touching up faded or peeled painted surfaces, cleaning and repairing fencing, and applying weed control to your lawn and cracks in your front walks and driveways. Here are some tips that will keep the City of Nassau Bay Code Enforcement Department happy: Maintain your lawn and trees. Unkempt lawns are not only unappealing to view, but they can also serve as the perfect home for vermin. In addition to lawn care, trees are also important to maintain. Unhealthy trees can be hazardous, so it is crucial to have them evaluated to prevent costly projects and hazardous situations. Ensure swimming pools are up to par. Standing water attracts mosquitoes, providing ideal breeding grounds. It is important to maintain swimming pools and filtration systems to prevent mosquito infestations which can spread diseases. Maintain the property structure. Properties that are detrimental to the community values and safety need to be properly addressed to upkeep the neighborhood. Address and eliminate factors that threaten the property structure, such as excess clutter and weakened structural features. In order to maintain the well-being of the community and avoid possible citations, it is important to maintain every aspect of your property. It is your responsibility.
