Woodstock Steps Up Enforcement

The City of Woodstock is stepping up its enforcement against property owners who move a former tenant's household possessions to the curb after an eviction. The number of unsightly piles and the length of time they are left at the curb should be noticeably shorter.

As a result of piles at adjacent houses on First Street, the new program is

1. Notice to the property owner, giving him 24 hours to remove it.
2. The City may issue a $25 Violation Notice to the property owner for each day the pile is there.
3. If not removed, Public Works will pick up, and the owner will be charged for time and material.

No longer will we have to look at these piles for days on end.

Just send an email to CodeEnforcement@woodstockil.gov or call Donovan Day at 815.338.4305 during business hours Monday through Friday.

Thanks to the City for stepping up to the plate on this one.
