DAWGS Vacant Property Security Expands Operations to the Greater Seattle Market

DAWGS Vacant Property Security, a top supplier of steel door and window guards for securing vacant properties, has announced the expansion of its operations into the Seattle market in Washington.

In recent times, the Seattle and Portland areas have seen an increase in vacant and abandoned properties, leading to various risks. These unoccupied properties can lower property values, destabilize neighborhoods, and attract illegal activities like arson, squatting, vandalism, theft, and drug-related offenses.

By establishing a warehouse in Seattle, DAWGS aims to assist property owners and managers in meeting the Vacant Building Standards set by the Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections. These standards mandate that vacant structures in Seattle must be secured and maintained to prevent unauthorized access and weather-related damage. Properties should also be kept free of debris, overgrown plants, parked vehicles, and graffiti.

Failure to meet these requirements may result in inclusion in the vacant building monitoring program, where monthly inspections are conducted. Violations may lead to monthly monitoring fees ranging from $271.85 to $542.60, depending on the property’s condition.

Nick Oberhouse, the CEO of DAWGS Vacant Property Security, stated, “This expansion not only aids in community revitalization in and around Seattle but also creates new job opportunities in the region. We are excited to begin recruiting local talent.”

DAWGS Vacant Property Security is dedicated to revitalizing communities across the country. By entering the Seattle market, the company continues to offer crucial solutions for securing vacant properties, assisting property owners in adhering to local regulations, and contributing to safer and more vibrant neighborhoods.
