tenant keeps junk cars and trash all over the property got county violation ticket

[Gp G.]

,I have tenant who is troubling for weeks. He created lot of issues saying mold in the property recently. PM gave him 60 days notice to vacate few weeks back. I am waiting for those 60 days to complete as soon as possible
Attached is the letter I received from county today as this tenant keeping junk cars and trash all around the property even after informing him multiple times. I emailed this letter to my PM as well. Please advise what steps I need to take to avoid fines or imprisonment as stated in attached leter.

GP, 

1. You have a PM company let them solve the problem, that's what they are paid to do.

a. The PM should notify the tenant of the violation and give them 3 days to cure or whatever the lease says.

b. If the tenant doesn't cure the issue w/in the timeframe then the PM should cure the issue I.e send someone over to clean the yard, and tow the vehicle if necessary. The notice they send should state that is what will happen if the tenant doesn't do it at the tenant's expense.

2. What does the lease say about inoperable cars, appearance of the property? Our lease says no inoperable cars are allowed on the property. We tag them w/ a notice that says they'll be towed if tires aren't inflated or if they've sat for long periods of time w/o movement, invalid tags etc. 

3. Ask your PM how often they drive by properties under management. In theory they should've seen / known about the violations before the city got involved. Not all PMs do this but it's something to ask / think about. 

4. Ask the PM if they're going to contact the City or if you need to about the citation. Follow up and ensure the loop is closed quickly.

When you call the city ask what triggered the visit. Cobb county isn't a small place the inspector isn't just driving around looking for violations. Oftentimes tenants will call to report an issue i.e. mold thinking it'll save them from eviction which triggers an inspection and results in these violations.  

Good luck, easy problem to solve. Communicate w/ your PM, the City and follow up until it's resolved quickly.
