LAKEPORT, Calif. — The city of Lakeport will be conducting a housing conditions survey from Sept. 9 to 12 through its contractor, Adams Ashby Group Inc.

Adams Ashby staff will review the exterior condition of homes.

All surveys will be conducted from the public right-of-way — streets and sidewalks only — and no one will enter private property.

Officials said this is a random survey of homes across Lakeport neighborhoods.
 
The city said the survey’s purpose is to document the overall condition of housing in Lakeport and identify the percentage of homes in need of rehabilitation. 

This effort is part of a planning grant from the California Department of Housing and Community Development and will help the city seek funding for future housing rehabilitation programs.

If you see Adams Ashby staff in your neighborhood, please know they are working on behalf of the city of Lakeport for this project.

For more information, call Community Development Director Joey Hejnowicz at 707-263-5615.
