Neighbors have complained numerous times about this house on Arcadia Road in Parklawn, to no avail. The gutter is falling off, and an addition in the back has been under construction for seven years.

Have you filed complaints with the Fairfax County Department of Code Compliance about a neighbor’s poorly maintained home, unkempt yard, or illegal home-based business—and the problems persist?

Have you been warned that your home violates a county ordinance and you’re not sure what the problem is or what to do about it?

Learn more about these issues at a Community Forum on Code Compliance Thursday, May 22, at the Annandale United Methodist Church, 6935 Columbia Pike, Annandale, 6:30-8:30 p.m.

The forum is sponsored by the Fairfax County Department of Neighborhood and Community Services, Department of Code Compliance, and Police Departmentand is hosted in partnership with the Annandale Roundable, a stakeholder group of private and public entities and individuals.

Code compliance and property maintenance is a huge issue in Annandale and the Mason District. Previous community meetings on this topic sponsored by the Mason District Council have attracted large crowds, including many people frustrated by lack of enforcement by county officials.

This forum will focus on “common community norms related to safety and quality of life issues.” Refreshments will be provided, along with simultaneous language interpreters.
