I just wanted to let the City of Brentwood Code Enforcement Department and the Brentwood Police Department know how very much we appreciate their involvement in taking care of a (somewhat) empty house next door to our home. Homeowners need to know there is a place to go to complain about unsightly properties. It shows how very much this city cares.

We had noticed people living in the house next door but thought they were renters. One day they were living in the home, the next day they were gone. We starting seeing people coming and going in the home, not the original owner. We contacted code enforcement and the police department and they acted promptly.

There are people temporarily living in the home now, for whatever reason, and not taking care of the yard. So I called code enforcement this morning and they are taking corrective action again. We are very proud of our home, take good care of it, and to have a house next door with weeds 2 feet high is not good.

We are very proud to say we live in a wonderful community like Brentwood, and that has been reinforced by the great response we have received as homeowners when contacting code enforcement and the police department with this issue.

Love living in Brentwood!
