The Denver Post recently wrote up the story and said that examples of violations are
....missing doors or a missing or broken garage door, a disintegrating roof or one missing at least 10 percent of its shingles, or dead or overgrown landscaping.The city of Boulder also has a controversial nuisance property policy. Last year, the city passed a nuisance abatement ordinance, defining a piece of property as a public nuisance by creating a strike policy. If a property is reported on two or more separate violations of Boulder Municipal Code within a 12 month period, or three violations within a 24 month period, the property is considered a public nuisance. This gives the city and municipal court the authority to initiate civil action against the property owner.
Some of the conditions already were considered violations while others are new.
City officials say the ordinance is needed to boost property values and to address health and safety codes. Before prosecuting anyone considered in violation, the city will work with property owners to get their homes back in shape, city leaders said.
