The Community Preservation Program also provides free mediation services.

Private disputes includes enforcement of such as CC&R’s, locations of property lines, trees overhanging/damaging private property, etc. Residents are encouraged to establish good relationships with neighbors and work collaboratively to solve these types of problems before conflicts arise. If discussions with neighbors are not fruitful, residents may seek mediation through the Mediation Program in the hopes of resolving their differences. If the dispute involves a violation of a City code and not a private civil matter, then the City may be brought in to resolve the violation.

To ask a question, request information, or report a violation, use AskBev. Or you may speak directly to Community Development at (310) 285-1119.

The staff assigned to a code enforcement action serves as the primary point of contact and is expected to keep responsible parties informed and on schedule until the violation is resolved.

Important Notice:

Disclosure of complainant name and/or contact information is prohibited from being released to the public by California State law unless ordered by a court during active litigation. Note, however, that if a complainant elects to report anonymously, the Code Enforcement investigation may be limited and/or discontinued because staff would be unable to contact the complainant for information necessary to continue the investigation.
