Bellevue Code Enforcement: 9/25/25

Summary

The Bellevue Code Enforcement Board met on September 25, 2025, to review multiple property violation cases. One citation for a Prospect Street property was dismissed after the violations were abated. A chronic nuisance case at 451 Fourth Avenue, involving Clear Focus Properties LLC, was upheld with a $14,000 maximum fine, which will convert to a lien after 30 days due to ongoing neglect and failure to address numerous citations. Another case involved improper parking at 348 City Avenue, where the board issued a $50 fine after repeated complaints about vehicles parked in the yard. A vacant property at 208 Prospect Street, unregistered since the owner’s death in 2023, was fined $100 to prompt estate representatives to address maintenance and registration. Under old business, updates were given on prior violations, including abated issues and ongoing inspections of apartment complexes with safety and fire code concerns. The board also discussed potential use of subpoenas to require repeat violators to appear and testify on their progress in addressing problems.
