This chapter is not intended to repeal, abrogate, annul or in any way impair or interfere with existing provisions of other laws or ordinances, or with private restrictions placed upon property by covenant, deed, or other private agreement or with restrictive covenants running with the land to which the City is a party. However, where this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon property or structures than is imposed or required by existing provisions of law, ordinance, contract or deed, the provisions of this chapter control. The purpose of this chapter is to provide minimum standards for the maintenance of property in the City and to allow for abatement of nuisances on property through means other than criminal prosecution. At the direction of authorized personnel and pursuant to a written agreement, the City may use the services of an independent contractor to implement the provisions of this chapter.
(Ord. 2023-1228, 6/21/2023)

The duty imposed by this section on a property owner in no instance relieves those persons from the similar duty.

The property owner, lessee, occupant, or person having care or control of the property may, at his or her own expense, abate the nuisance as prescribed by the enforcement officer or hearing officer at any time prior to abatement by the City. If the nuisance has been inspected by a representative of the City and has been abated in accordance with the requirements, proceedings will be terminated.
(Ord. 2023-1228, 6/21/2023)

(Ord. 2023-1228, 6/21/2023)
A. 
To the extent permitted by law, the City may establish an assessment in the amount of the fee, cost, or charge confirmed by the City in accordance with Section 1.16.230 against the real property where the violation occurred, unless the City has established a lien for those same fees, costs, or charges pursuant to Section 1.16.240. If the real property where the violation occurred is not occupied by the owner, the assessment amount may also include accrued fines and penalties.
B. 
Notice of Assessment. Prior to establishing an assessment, notice must be served on the owner of record based on the last equalized assessment roll or the supplemental roll, whichever is more current, in the same manner as summons in a civil action in accordance with Article 3 (commencing with Section 415.10) of Chapter 4 of Title 5 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure. If the owner of record cannot be found after a diligent search, the notice may be served by posting copy of the notice in a conspicuous place on the property for a period of 10 days and publishing the notice in a newspaper of general circulation published in San Diego County pursuant to Government Code Section 6062.
1. 
The assessment may be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes are collected, and is subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary municipal taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of municipal taxes are applicable to the special assessment.
2. 
If the identity of the owner of the real property can be determined, the City must send notice of the special assessment to the owner by certified mail at the time of imposing the assessment. Such notice will specify that the property may be sold after three years by the tax collector for unpaid delinquent assessments. The tax collector's power of sale is not affected by the failure of the property owner to receive notice. Assessment of administrative fines as provided hereunder does not preclude assessment of other costs of abatement of any nuisance against the same property at a later date.
3. 
If any real property against which the special assessment relates has been transferred or conveyed to a bona fide purchaser for value, or if a lien of a bona fide encumbrancer for value has been created and attaches thereon, prior to the date on which the first installment of the taxes would become delinquent, then the cost of abatement will not result in a lien against the real property but instead will be transferred to the unsecured roll for collection.
4. 
A sale of vacant residential developed property for which the payment of a special assessment imposed pursuant to this chapter is delinquent may be conducted, subject to the requirements applicable to the sale of property pursuant to Section 3691 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.
5. 
Notices or instruments relating to the special assessment are entitled to recordation.
(Ord. 2023-1228, 6/21/2023)
In the event a special assessment or lien is discharged, released, or satisfied, through payment, foreclosure or forgiveness, notice of the discharge containing the information specified below must be recorded by the City or be provided by the City to the responsible party to be recorded. The notice of discharge must specify the amount of the lien, the name of the agency on whose behalf the lien is imposed, 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 record owner of the parcel. The City Manager, or designee, is authorized to take all actions necessary to release a special assessment or lien that has been fully satisfied and charge the person requesting the lien or assessment release for any costs associated with releasing the lien or assessment.
