Summary
Eastvale's nuisance abatement chapter explicitly does not enforce private HOA CC&Rs and applies uniformly citywide regardless of what any tract's covenants say. A homeowners' association keeps its own separate right to sue for CC&R compliance.
This chapter is not intended to enforce conditions, covenants and restrictions ("CC&Rs") on real property, or to supersede any less restrictive CC&Rs. This chapter will be enforced uniformly within the city regardless of CC&Rs. Therefore, this chapter does not abrogate the right of any homeowners' association or private citizen to take action, legal or as otherwise provided in the CC&Rs, to force compliance with the CC&Rs applicable to their tract or association even though the CC&Rs may be the same, more restrictive, or may not be covered by this chapter.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 16 Update 1).
Full Breakdown
Sec. 010, the findings and purpose section of the Administrative Nuisance Abatement chapter adopted by Ord. No. 2020-01, states directly that the chapter is not intended to enforce conditions, covenants and restrictions on real property or to supersede any CC&R that is less restrictive than the city's own nuisance standards. 18 the same way across every property in Eastvale no matter what a particular tract's CC&Rs require or permit. Because of that, the chapter preserves, rather than replaces, an HOA's or private citizen's separate right to bring a legal or CC&R-based action to force compliance with covenants that apply to their own tract or association, even where those covenants are identical to, stricter than, or not addressed at all by the city's nuisance rules.
18 for a nuisance condition such as unmowed grass, junk storage, or a dilapidated fence faces a city process entirely separate from any parallel HOA architectural or covenant enforcement action; paying a city fine or curing a city notice of abatement does not resolve, and is not resolved by, any HOA dispute over the same condition, and the two proceed independently under their own procedures and remedies.
Violations & Fines
A responsible person who fails to abate a nuisance identified under Chapter 8.18 faces a misdemeanor under Sec. 8.18.040, punishable per Sec. 1.01.220, or an administrative fine issued under Chapter 8.17, with each day of continued violation a separate offense; this exposure is independent of, and unaffected by, any HOA action over the same CC&R condition.
