Rancho Penasquitos Town Council

Neighborhood Code Compliance

Randy Nielsen
Committee Chair

The goals of this committee include neighborhood preservation and enhancement. Volunteers, trained by the City of San Diego ’s Code Compliance Department, provide information, answer questions, and process complaints. Regarding complaints, the focus will be on municipal code “building” and “vehicle” violations (limited to parking, storage, servicing, selling, and inhabiting vehicles). CC&Rs are often difficult to interpret, out of date, and not enforceable. The committee works closely with the City’s Neighborhood Code Compliance Department to process complaints.

This committee is also active in the removal of illegal signs and graffiti. These are also municipal code violations. You can help by reporting problems with signs or graffiti in your neighborhood via this website. On an ad hoc basis, other services include architectural review and neighborhood clean-ups (performed in cooperation with the City of San Diego ).

Reporting Code Violations

Residents are encouraged to speak with their neighbors if they have a problem. However, we understand that this is not always possible. If you believe that any city codes are being violated you may want to contact the Neighborhood Code Compliance Committee of the Rancho Peñasquitos Town Council.

You may use our contact form to send a message to our Code Compliance committee; be sure to select 'Code Compliance' as the subject. If you are making a formal complaint, the following information will be needed:

Description of problem and duration
Address of property with problem
Your name, address, and phone number
