Public Safety

Code Compliance

The Code Compliance Division includes Code Enforcement, Parking Enforcement and Animal Control. This branch works collectively to enforce zoning standards, building code and the City's Municipal Code.

Parking Enforcement

Comprehensive parking enforcement is important to the health, safety, and economic vitality of Lynwood. A dutiful, conscientious ticketing force is the heart of an effective parking management program, which enables the City to maximize usage of its on-street parking surplus.

Activities performed by Public Safety Officers include:

  • Patrolling designated routes and enforce all parking laws and ordinances within the C.V.C. (California Vehicle Code) and the L.M.C. (Lynwood Municipal Code)
  • Issue parking citations to vehicles parked illegally
  • Impound illegally parked and abandoned vehicles
  • Respond to service requests and calls for service
  • Interpret parking regulations and procedures to the public

Our City streets serve many competing interests and they are one of the most sought-after resources the City controls. Primarily, the streets are designed for moving traffic, but shoppers, delivery vehicles, visitors, taxis, and buses all vie for on-street parking space.

Parking enforcement plays a vital role in ensuring that the street is used in the best interests of the community. The primary objectives of enforcement are:

  • Support the on-street and off-street parking system by equitably and consistently enforcing the parking regulations
  • Encourage compliance with the State's and City's parking regulations
  • Promote traffic and pedestrian safety
  • Maximize the capacity of the existing parking supply through increased turnover
  • Protect on-street access needed for commerce and public convenience
  • Enhance the quality of life in the residential zones by keeping the area free of abandoned vehicles
