Cannabis Cultivation Without a Permit and Building Violations in Mendocino County

Press release from the Mendocino Code Enforcement Division:

Mendocino marijuanaThe Code Enforcement Division received a complaint about cultivation of cannabis without permits at a residential location in the 4100 Block of Fisher Lake Drive, Redwood Valley. Subsequent investigation confirmed that cannabis was being cultivated without a permit in violation of Mendocino County Code Chapter 10A.17. , and a structure had been constructed with a building permit.

The property owner was located and issued an administrative citation for the non-permitted cannabis and a notice of violation for the non-permitted structure.  The property owner submitted an application for an after-the-fact building permit for the structure but did not remove the non-permitted cannabis. Fines related to the administrative citation for the non-permitted cannabis continued to accumulate daily.

On 10/11/17 Code Enforcement issued an Order to Abate the non-permitted Cannabis within 5 days pursuant to Mendocino County Chapter 8.76 and set a hearing as required by this Chapter for 10/18/18. If the Order to Abate is upheld at hearing, the property owner would be responsible for paying for the costs of abatement.

On 10/17/18 Code Enforcement Inspected the property after the property owner/cultivator advised that all Cannabis had been removed from the property.  During the inspection, Code Enforcement found that the 27 non-permitted Cannabis Plants totaling  approximately 750 square feet of canopy had been removed from the property.  The property owner was then issued a notice of penalty due for the administrative citation fines for $2900.00.

A complaint driven abatement program with $1000 a day in fines seems so much more reasonable than the Humboldt Abatement Program. Mendo is a way better place to be right now. Everyone I know there had a good year with no abatement notices or letters from the water board.

Ah well, Humboldt was the best place to be for a long time. I guess now it’s our turn to get hammered and be the worst place to grow pot in the state of California.

On the way to economic failure.

ya thats a good question. I wouldn’t be showing my face on blogs calling other people criminals and wishing they would get raided unless my operation was completely legit and I wasn’t breaking any laws. Every “legal” person selling on black market is a criminal.

And no, I don’t want those “legal” people to get raided for breaking laws. Except for the self-righteous ones with big mouths. Good luck with everything. And vote no on measure O.

Vot no on. Measure o cut law enforcement spending.they violate the Constitution daily,they aren’t there when you need them they’ve become a mob of extortionist rip offs

That old guy in the highest office? He wants to decriminalize it and give the power back to the states. Whether our state is corrupt or not is up to us.
