Litter control
  Refuse must be stored in cans with tight fitting lids and not placed on the tree lawn before 6:00 PM the evening prior to pick up. Property owners can be cited for insanitary conditions if refuse is not properly contained. (Refer to LCO, Chapter 17, Sanitary Code)

High Grass and Weeds
 

Every property owner in the City is responsible for keeping their lawns mowed and free from weeds.  Grass or weeds six inches or higher are in violation of Chapter 1775 of the Lakewood Codified Ordinances and are subject to citation.   If the property owner, occupant or management does not remove high grass and weeds after receiving a citation, the City of Lakewood may remove them at a cost of $100/hour.

If you would like to report a property with high grass and/or weeds, click here for the High Grass and Weed Complaint Form.  This form may be e-mailed to housing.building@lakewoodoh.net, faxed to (216) 529-5930 or mailed to Lakewood Division of Housing & Building, 12650 Detroit Avenue, Lakewood, Ohio  44107.
