This week's shape

San Diego County this week is mostly unpermitted work, vacant property complaints, and short-term rental pressure. The best calls are the ones with active status, repeat reports, or signs the city/county is already looking at the site. Closed graffiti and cleanup cases are noise for this list.

#	Type	City	Status	Address	Owner	Ranking basis	Access
1	STRO Violation	—	New	4xx Ethelda Pl, San Diego, CA 92116, USA	owner withheld	New STRO complaint with health-and-safety claims and a live tenant dispute. This is the kind of file that can turn into a fast enforcement path if the property is already being used as a short-term rental.	Sign in
2	Complaint	—	New	4xx Quapaw Av, San Diego CA 92117 United States	owner withheld	Recent sale, then a complaint that the place is operating as an unlicensed short-term rental. That combination usually means someone is trying to monetize the asset now, not sitting on it passively.	Sign in
3	Complaint	—	New	6xx Brooklyn Av, San Diego CA 92114 United States	owner withheld	Vacant for years is the signal here. Abandonment plus a long-running complaint usually means the owner is already checked out, which is where distressed acquisition conversations start.	Sign in
4	Complaint	—	New	4xx Ohio St, San Diego CA United States	owner withheld	Vacant demolished parcel with trash, weeds, and rodent complaints. This is not cosmetic; it reads like an owner-side cleanup problem on an empty lot, which often sits unresolved.	Sign in
5	Complaint	—	New	1xx Beryl St, San Diego CA 92109 United States	owner withheld	Unpermitted ADU allegations on a residential property with rental income in the background. If there is real nonconforming use here, it can create leverage and a forced cleanup conversation.	Sign in
