(a) 
Anything or any use or condition of real property that poses a danger to human health, is unsafe or detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or is indecent or offensive to the senses and interferes with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property, or unlawfully obstructs the free passage or use, in the customary manner, of any navigable lake, or river, stream, canal, or basin, or any public park, street, or highway, and affects at the same time an entire community or neighborhood or any considerable number of persons, although the extent of annoyance or damage inflicted upon individuals may be unequal;

Any use of land, buildings, or premises established, operated, or maintained contrary to the provisions of any statute, any provision of this Code, or any other ordinance adopted by the Board;
(f) 
Any condition that constitutes a visual blight to a reasonable person of average sensibilities. For purposes of this Chapter, "visual blight" is any unreasonable or unlawful condition or use of real property, premises, or building exteriors that by reason of its appearance as viewed at ground level from the public right-of-way, or from neighboring premises, is detrimental to the property of others or to the value of property of others, offensive to the senses, or significantly degrades the aesthetic appearance of the neighborhood. "Visual blight" may include, but is not limited to, the keeping, storing, depositing, scattering over, or accumulation on the premises of any of the following:
(1) 
Junk, trash, debris, scrap metal, wood, rubbish, or packing materials, or
(2) 
Abandoned, discarded, or unused objects or equipment, such as furniture, stoves, appliances, refrigerators, freezers, cans or containers, motor vehicles, or automotive parts and equipment;
(g) 
Any condition that constitutes an attractive nuisance, which are those dangerous objects or conditions that, by their nature, may attract children or other curious individuals. Attractive nuisances include, but are not limited to, unprotected hazardous or unfilled swimming pools, ponds, iceboxes, refrigerators, freezers, abandoned wells, shafts, septic tanks, or other excavations.

Where there is a report of the existence of a public nuisance or other reason to believe that a public nuisance exists on certain real property, but the owner or person legally in possession of the real property refuses consent for the enforcement officer to inspect it, or where circumstances justify the failure to seek consent to inspect, the County may proceed to obtain an inspection warrant pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1822.50 et seq. to enter and inspect such real property.
(Amended by Ord. No. 3564, effective 7-4-19)
No inspection warrant shall be required where there is an immediate threat or danger to the public health or safety, and immediate abatement of a public nuisance is justified as provided in section 4-01-1315 of this Chapter.
