City of Plainview Code Enforcement to
begin Sweeps for Nuisance Violations in
South East 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
th
violations beginning Monday, March 7.
The sweeps will begin in the areas between Columbia
Street, Milwee Street, Date Street and FM 2866.
“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 Frisco Park (corner of Calle Fr. Daly and Martinez
Street), Broadway Park by the Park’s Barn (100 S. Broadway) and Ollie Liner Center
thth
(2000 S. Columbia) beginning Monday, March 4 through Monday, March 14.
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 early
March,” 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.
