Release: Nuisance Abatement Clean-Up Project

Coming Soon to Your Neighborhood

On August 4, 2019, the Oelwein Police Department will begin a city-wide neighborhood canvas for nuisance abatement violations. The process will entail all officers dedicating efforts to a specific quadrant of the community (NE, SE, SW, NW) at the same time. For a three week period, officers will actively work their assigned area, within the designated quadrant. During this time, the officers will seek out violations, serve the resident/property owner, and by the end of the three week period all of the properties, within that quadrant, will either be in compliance or cited into court. The officers will then move into the next quadrant and perform the same process.

"Our department has dedicated a great deal of time and effort in the area of cleaning up neighborhoods," states Chief Jeremy Logan. "Since 2015, the Oelwein Police Department has served 1,241 nuisance abatement notices. While this process has been effective in addressing some of the major issues, it is time to tackle the issues collectively in a systematic and efficient manner."

The department encourages our residents and property owners to help with this effort by assessing their property or properties and addressing any issues that they observe. This will prevent the need for an officer to serve those notices and aid in cleaning up the community. Some of the violations that will be addressed, by code, are:

Garbage Refuse, Cardboard,

Tree branches, Yard Trimmings, Dilapidated furniture,

Construction materials, Scrap meta,l Scrap wood,

Appliances, Car parts, Non-functioning machinery,

Indoor furniture,* Junk vehicles

*Furniture that is designed and intended for indoor use cannot be stored outside.
