City Board Orders Property Owners to Fix Seven Code Violations Within 30 Days

The City of Fresno’s Building Standards Appeals Board confirmed a Notice and Order requiring four limited partnerships — BDHOV LP, LEHOV LP, WRHOV LP, and JDHOV LP — to repair seven code violations at 2220 N. Weber Ave. and 1827 W. Clinton Ave. within 30 days. The board made the decision June 2, 2026, after hearing the property owners’ appeal of the original Notice and Order issued April 9, 2026.

Community Revitalization Specialist Julian Amparo opened case E26-04602 on April 2, 2026, and inspected both properties, confirming the presence of seven violations. The property owners filed their appeal one day after receiving the Notice and Order, on April 10, 2026. The City Attorney’s Office recommended the board confirm the order and require repairs within 30 days, which the board approved.

The material does not identify what the seven violations are, who these limited partnerships are, or what specific repairs the order requires. The Building Standards Appeals Board was established by Resolution 2025-149 on May 22, 2025, to hear code enforcement and other appeals.

The Breakdown

  • Four limited partnerships own the two properties at 2220 N. Weber Ave. and 1827 W. Clinton Ave.
  • A city inspector confirmed seven code violations on April 2, 2026, and issued a Notice and Order on April 9, 2026.
  • The property owners appealed the order on April 10, 2026.
  • The Building Standards Appeals Board held a hearing on June 2, 2026, and confirmed the order, giving the owners 30 days to make repairs.

What This Means for You

This decision shows the Building Standards Appeals Board hearing a code enforcement appeal and confirming the city’s assessment. The board is the mechanism for property owners to challenge code enforcement actions — and in this case, the board sided with city staff’s assessment that the violations are real and must be fixed.

What to Watch

The material gives no detail on what the seven violations actually are, what condition the properties are in, or what the required repairs will cost. That matters because the severity of a code violation can range from peeling paint to structural hazards — and the public has no way to judge whether a 30-day timeline is reasonable or whether these limited partnerships have the resources or intent to comply. Who are BDHOV LP, LEHOV LP, WRHOV LP, and JDHOV LP? The material names them as property owners but offers no information on who controls them, whether they own other properties in Fresno, or whether they have a history of code violations. Limited partnerships are a common structure for real estate investors, and without knowing who’s behind these entities, voters have no way to assess whether this is an isolated compliance issue or part of a pattern of neglect.

What happens if the repairs aren’t made in 30 days? The material references Fresno Municipal Code sections 11-319 and 11-324, and California Health and Safety Code section 17920.3, but does not say what enforcement tools the city has if the property owners miss the deadline — fines, liens, criminal penalties, or simply another round of appeals. The inspection report and the Notice and Order itself (referenced as page 31 of the “Appeal Packet”) would answer most of these questions, but the material provided does not include them.
