Catalytic Converter Ordinance

CATCONV

As your council member, I am proud to have passed an ordinance that protects our residents from the rising problem of catalytic converter thefts. The victims of these thefts often face costly repairs, inconvenience, and insecurity.

The ordinance makes it illegal for anyone other than a licensed core recycler to possess a detached catalytic converter without valid proof of ownership. This proof can include a bill of sale, documentation from an auto-body shop, or verifiable electronic communication from the previous owner. Anyone who violates this ordinance can face a fine of up to $1,000, jail time of up to 12 months, or both. The ordinance also allows the city to revoke the permit of any core recycler who is found to be in violation of any applicable law.

This ordinance will help protect our residents from the costly and inconvenient consequences of catalytic converter thefts, as well as deter criminals from engaging in this activity. By requiring proof of ownership, we can help law enforcement identify and prosecute thieves, and prevent them from profiting from their crimes.

Eviction Protection Program (EPP)

WHAT IS EPP?

The Eviction Protection Program (EPP) protects tenants renting apartments or homes from unlawful evictions. If the City determines you are potentially facing such an unlawful eviction, you may be eligible to receive a City-sponsored attorney or legal services to assist you in the judicial process at no charge.

This program is open to any City of Fresno resident who is facing an unlawful eviction regardless of financial or documented status. Common reasons for unlawful evictions include the inability to pay rent because of income loss from COVID-19, retaliation for reporting code enforcement violations, discrimination, unlawful rent increases, and many more.

Once your case is reviewed, the City Attorney’s Office will determine if you need an Attorney or Legal Mediation Services.

WHO QUALIFIES?

This program is for residential tenants renting in the City of Fresno.

HOW CAN EPP HELP?

Once your case is reviewed, the City Attorney’s Office will determine if you need an Attorney or Legal Mediation Services.
