BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 3.F.
For Meeting of: January 14, 2025
ITEM TITLE: Report regarding service calls and code compliance at hotels and
other supportive housing facilities
SUBMITTED BY: * Glenn Denman, Code Administration Manager
* Chief Shawn Boyle, Yakima Police Department
* Brandon Lynn, YPD Crime Analytics Supervisor
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
At the City Council meeting on September 17, 2024, the Yakima City Council passed a motion for the
Yakima Codes Division (Codes) and the Yakima Police Department (YPD) to provide a report to the
Council at a future meeting on the number of service calls and issues of code compliance and Yak Back
reports regarding hotels and other supportive housing facilities.
Tonight's Council packet contains "SmartGov" cases which reflect cases handled by Codes; Yak Back
data (complaints received by the City); and YPD statistics related to hotels and other supportive housing
facilities.
YPD provided to Codes a master list of hotels and supportive housing in order to compile 2024 Codes
cases related to those locations. Codes responded to six complaints from the list. One of the complaints
had to do with a plugged sewer line which was soon resolved, four were Clean City cases (clean ups in
the public way) adjacent to two of the addresses, and one was a complaint that merited no additional
follow up (please refer to "SmartGov cases" to view the list of seven cases).
ITEM BUDGETED: N/A
STRATEGIC PRIORITY 24-25: A Safe and Healthy Yakima

11.45.005 Purpose.
Chronic nuisance properties present health, safety, and welfare concerns and interfere with the
ownership, use, and possession of property within the city of Yakima. Chronic nuisance properties
have a tremendous negative impact upon the quality of life, safety, and health of the neighborhoods
where they are located. These properties are also a financial burden to the city of Yakima because of
the nuisance activities occurring on the property. This chapter is a means to ameliorate those
conditions and hold accountable those persons responsible for such property. (Ord. 2020-014 § 1
(part), 2020).
