§ 1.16.050. Summary abatement.  


Latest version.
  • Pursuant to California Government Code Section 25845(a), and as may be amended, the enforcement officer is authorized to summarily abate public nuisances determined by the officer to constitute an immediate threat to public health, safety or welfare. If an enforcement officer summarily abates a public nuisance, he may keep an account of the abatement costs and pursue cost recovery pursuant to section 1.16.070 of this chapter. In cases of summary abatement, however, at the hearing to confirm the abatement costs, the administrative hearing officer shall also determine whether a public nuisance existed.
