City of Plainview Code Enforcement to begin
Sweeps for Nuisance Violations in West
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, July
th
18.
The sweeps will begin in the areas of West of Ennis Street
th
from Dimmitt Road to SW 12 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.
Loan-A-Tubs will be stationed at Regional Park (Behind YMCA), corner of Garland &
thrd
Kermit Drive, 3600 W. 16 Street and West 3 & Kirchwood Drive beginning Friday,
th
July 15 through Friday, July 22nd.
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 the sweeps will begin in July,” says
Mize. “The letters will include information on the type of code enforcement violations we
are looking to address and some information about Loan-A-Tub placement in an effort
to assist citizens.”
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.
