§ 8.32.430. Immediate hazards.  


Latest version.
  • Any condition which poses an immediate hazard to public health or safety shall be determined and declared by the City Manager, Police Chief, Fire Chief, Health Officer or Director to be an immediate hazard. In such event, the City Manager, Police Chief, Fire Chief, Health Officer or Director may take immediate action to abate the hazard, without notice to the owner, lessee, person having custody or charge of the premises involved, or any other interested person, and without the necessity of a hearing thereon by the Hearing Officer. However, such immediate action shall be limited to such action as the City Manager, Police Chief, Fire Chief, Health Officer or Director deems reasonably necessary in his/her discretion to eliminate the immediate hazard or to protect persons or property from immediate injury or damage. Any further action to abate a nuisance which does not pose an immediate hazard to public health and safety shall be taken only in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Chapter.
