City of Plainview Code Enforcement to
begin Sweeps for Nuisance Violations in
North Section of Plainview
In an effort to keep Plainview safe and free from various
nuisance violations, the Code Enforcement Department will
begin conducting a sweep – a concerted effort to address a
variety of existing code violations beginning Monday,
rd
January 23.
th
The sweeps will begin in the areas north of 16 Street from
Quincy Street between I-27 and Columbia Street
“This is not a punitive sweep that the City is looking to do,” says Philip Mize, Chief
Building Official. “We are notifying citizens of the violations we will be addressing and
will give the public time to address those concerns. Ideally, we would like to send the
letter and then when we conduct the ‘sweep’, there are no violations.”
Concerted nuisance violations for the sweep include inoperable or junked vehicles,
improperly parked vehicles, accumulation of rubbish such as trash, refuse, junk, lumber,
and other abandoned materials, obstructed views of street corners, overgrown weeds or
grass and scrap tires.
thth
Loan-A-Tubs will be stationed at 26 Street & Quincy Street, 28 Street & Houston
thth
Street, 35 Street & Joliet Street and 16 Street & Joliet Street beginning Friday,
thth
January 20 through Friday, January 27.
Items that will be allowed at the drop-off include: Furniture, Small Appliances,
Household Items, Trash/Debris, Tree Limbs/Grass Clippings, and Electronics (no
batteries) including TVs, microwaves, computers and other items considered as E-
Waste. No commercial dumping will be allowed.
Letters will be sent to residents in these areas and include information on the type of
code enforcement violations that will be addressed and some information about Loan-A-
Tub placement.
Code Enforcement has conducted several sweeps across Plainview the past couple of
years. The sweeps are organized by various sections of the City, and each sweep will
cover that particular section until they have conducted sweeps across the entire City.

Enforcement Department at 806.296.1100.
