Who cuts weeds on vacant lots?
A. The property owner is responsible by City code for maintaining their lots including weed control and keeping garbage and other nuisances cleaned off the lot. At certain times of the year the Ontario Police Ordinance Control Officer cites, by registered letter, owners of lots that require cleaning or weed removal. If the owner does not respond, the City can take the required action and charge the property owner or place a lien on the property. A copy of this City Code provision can be reviewed or purchased from the Ontario Police Department. City Code includes tree trimmings, root control, and damages to public and private improvements such as sidewalks, curb and gutter and roadways caused by the trees.
