Moreno Valley has completed the first of its two annual inspections meant to lower the risk of wildfires within the city.
The Spring Fire Hazard Reduction Program was held March 23-27, according to a statement on the city’s website.
Any property in violation will receive a notice by March 30, which will begin a 15-day period during which the property may fix the problem voluntarily.
“Protecting our community from fire danger is a shared responsibility,” said Mayor Ulises Cabrera in the statement. “By taking preventative steps early, residents play a critical role in keeping Moreno Valley safe during peak fire season.”
Follow-up inspections are scheduled to be held April 14 to 17.
Properties that don’t pass re-inspection may be subject to clean-up by the city, the cost which may ben added to the owner’s property tax bill, according to the statement.
