Chapter 115. ABATEMENT OF PUBLIC NUISANCES |
§ 9.115.120. Nuisance abatement lien.
(a)
As an alternative to imposing the cost of abatement as a special assessment against the property, the City may choose instead to collect the cost of abatement by a nuisance abatement lien in accordance with the provisions of this section.
(b)
The procedure to impose a nuisance abatement lien shall be the same as specified above except that the notice sent to the property owner must be served in the same manner as service of a summons in a civil action in accordance with Code of Civil Procedure § 415.10 et seq., and the notice need not specify that the property can be sold for delinquent assessments. If, after diligent search, the owner of record cannot be found, the notice may be served by posting a copy thereof in a conspicuous place upon the property for ten days and by publication of the notice in a newspaper of general circulation pursuant to Government Code § 6062.
(c)
A nuisance abatement lien imposed pursuant to this section shall be recorded in the County Recorder's Office and from the date of recording shall have the force, effect and priority of a judgment lien.
(d)
A nuisance abatement lien imposed pursuant to this section shall specify the amount of the lien, the name of the City, the date of the abatement order, the street address, legal description and assessor's parcel number of the parcel on which the lien is imposed, and the name and address of the recorded owner of the parcel.
(e)
In the event that the nuisance abatement lien is discharged, released, or satisfied, either through payment or foreclosure, notice of the discharge containing the information specified in Subsection (d) of this section shall be recorded by the City.
(f)
A nuisance abatement lien and the release of the lien shall be indexed in the grantor-grantee index.
(g)
A nuisance abatement lien may be foreclosed by an action brought by the City for a money judgment.
(h)
The City may recover from the property owner any costs incurred regarding the processing and recording of the nuisance abatement lien and providing notice to the property owner as part of a foreclosure action to enforce the lien.
