This week's shape

This week’s useful paper is mostly unpermitted work, garage conversions, abandoned or vacant properties, and a few STRO complaints that still look active. I’d focus calls on the open county cases and the higher-priority San Diego complaints tied to ongoing construction, habitability, or vacancy rather than the noise-only items.

#	Type	City	Status	Address	Owner	Ranking basis	Access
1	Complaint	—	New	5xx Gary St, San Diego CA 92115 United States	owner withheld	New complaint on a rental with egress concerns and a weak bedroom claim. That kind of setup can turn into a permit or habitability problem fast, and it is worth checking whether the unit count or interior layout matches what is on file.	Sign in
2	Complaint	—	New	1xx Sedge Ct, San Diego CA 92129 United States	owner withheld	This is a straight structural hazard complaint on a rental deck. Deferred maintenance plus visible rot is the kind of issue that usually keeps a property off the easy-market list until someone pays to fix it.	Sign in
3	Complaint	—	New	7xx Mission Center Ct, San Diego CA 92108 United States	owner withheld	Unpermitted demolition after flooding usually means the owner is already in the middle of a repair decision, not just talking about one. That can be a good opening for a distressed-owner conversation if the property is otherwise worth buying.	Sign in
4	General Enforcement	—	Under Investigation	1xx VIEWSIDE LN, EL CAJON CA 92021	owner withheld	County case is already under investigation for an unpermitted electrical panel. Active county enforcement tends to be the kind of thing that stalls resale or refinance until corrected.	Sign in
5	Complaint	—	New	3xx Governor Dr, San Diego CA 92122 United States	owner withheld	This looks like a broad unpermitted remodel with grading and pool-area work. If the owner is already opening walls and moving dirt, there is usually more under the surface than the complaint summary shows.	Sign in
