This week's shape

This week’s money is mostly in Newport Beach. The best calls are the ones that are still open or just moved to notice/citation, especially remodels, demo deposits, STR pressure, and a few abandoned or poorly maintained properties. Anaheim is quieter and mostly administrative or low-signal maintenance, with a smaller set of active construction and permit items worth a look.

#	Type	City	Status	Address	Owner	Ranking basis	Access
1	Newport Beach Adopted Building Code	—	INVESTIGATING CASES	2 TERAMO CT, Newport Beach, CA	owner withheld	Remodel without permits is the kind of fresh enforcement pressure that can turn into a faster seller conversation if the owner is already exposed. Worth a call now while it is still being investigated.	Sign in
2	Newport Beach Adopted Building Code	—	NOTICE ISSUED	3xx OCEAN BLVD, Newport Beach, CA	owner withheld	Notice issued on a new deck build. That is early enough to catch the owner before the case settles and before they clean up the paper trail.	Sign in
3	Demo Deposit	—	INVESTIGATING CASES	4xx TREMONT LN, Newport Beach, CA	owner withheld	Two demo deposit items on the same property usually mean real work is underway, not a one-off complaint. That can be a good lead for a distressed sale, teardown, or project in motion.	Sign in
4	Demo Deposit	—	INVESTIGATING CASES	1xx SABRINA TER, Newport Beach, CA	owner withheld	Demo deposit on a single-family address still under investigation. These are the ones to watch for owners under pressure to finish work, refinance, or sell before more costs stack up.	Sign in
5	Miscellaneous	—	NOTICE ISSUED	1xx PORT SEABOURNE WAY, Newport Beach, CA	owner withheld	Pool rebuilt without permits is a clean enforcement issue and often sits on top of a broader remodel. If the owner is stressed, this can be a decent opening for a direct call.	Sign in
