Fla. cites Dodgers for code violations
A code enforcement officer has cited the Los Angeles Dodgers for violating property maintenance and trash violations on property where the team used to train on Florida's Atlantic coast.
During a code enforcement hearing Monday, officer Vanessa Carter Solomon outlined the violations she found during a June 29 inspection at the 3.4-acre lot in Vero Beach. The Dodgers held spring training in Vero Beach until 2008 before moving to their current spring home in Glendale, Ariz.
Solomon was asked to alert Dodgers officials that the issue will be included on the board's Aug. 19 agenda.
The issue arose when a neighbor asked Indian River County commissioners to do something about the 57-year-old vacant house on the property.
Last month, the Dodgers filed for bankruptcy protection.
