🏡 Westland Cracks Down on Neighborhood Blight

Westland is stepping up its efforts to clean up neglected properties and improve the quality of life for residents by hiring more ordinance officers to patrol neighborhoods and enforce local property standards. The city is taking a stronger stance against blight, and now is the time for homeowners and tenants to get their properties in compliance before potential fines are issued.  Fines for Overgrown Grass/Weeds in Other Areas:

    •    Some jurisdictions have specific fines related to lawn maintenance. For instance, one source mentions a fine of $130 for not cutting/removing obnoxious weeds or vegetation.

    •    Another source indicates that some cities might fine property owners a minimum of $300 for "overgrown lawn".

📢 Neighbors Are Speaking Out

Residents across Westland have voiced growing concerns about blighted properties, abandoned homes, and unkempt lawns that drag down the appeal and safety of their neighborhoods. "There's people that own their home, a nice home. They take care of it. And then they live next door to someone who doesn't take care of it," said local homeowner Gloria Mason.

With the city now actively increasing patrols and enforcement, those who have let their yards go are likely to face fines, violations, or worse. Ordinance officers will be on the move this season — don't be on their radar.

🏛️ The City's Plan for Improvement

Westland is expanding its ordinance enforcement team to better respond to the growing number of complaints and neglected properties. City leaders have prioritized this initiative as part of a larger push to raise property values, protect homeowners, and enhance neighborhood pride. The goal is simple: eliminate blight and restore Westland’s neighborhoods.
