Homeowner Beautification Project

While many homeowners on the 25100 block of Filaree Avenue recently worked toward making home
improvements, one homeowner took it to the next level. The once neglected property suffered from dry rot,
chipping paint, unmaintained landscape, missing address numbers, unimproved parking, and storage of an
inoperative vehicle. The homeowner replaced all of the damaged wood, painted the entire house, replaced
the missing address, removed all junk, trash and debris, and worked with the tenants to remove the inoperative
vehicle from the property. The owner then provided new drought tolerant landscaping, expanded the parking
area to prevent parking on unimproved surfaces in the future, and provided a new fence. The change was so
dramatic and happened so quickly that the Code officer passed the house twice when performing a re-
inspection of the property.
