This chapter shall be known as the "Sacramento County Dangerous
Buildings Code."
(SCC 322 § 1, 1978; SCC
1003 § 2, 1995)
a. It
is the intent of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Sacramento
in adopting this Code to provide a comprehensive method for the identification
and abatement of certain public nuisances within the unincorporated
territory of the County, and to assess any costs of abatement thereof
against the owners of the premises, either as a personal obligation
or as a lien against the subject property.
b. The
provisions of this Code are to be supplementary, cumulative and complementary
to all of the provisions of the Sacramento County Code, State Law,
and any law cognizable at common law, or in equity, and nothing herein
shall be read, interpreted or construed in any manner so as to limit
any existing right or power of the County of Sacramento to abate any
and all nuisances.
c. The
provisions of this Code are enacted for the protection of life, limb,
health, safety, property, or welfare of occupants of and neighbors
to dangerous buildings and the general public, and may require that
the dangerous building be repaired or demolished, at the owner's expense,
and that the building be vacated and entry be denied until the dangerous
condition is no longer present.
(SCC 322 § 1, 1978; SCC
1003 § 2, 1995)
The provisions of this Code shall apply generally to all property
throughout the unincorporated territory of the County of Sacramento.
(SCC 332 § 1, 1978; SCC
