Torrance Code Enforcement addresses overgrown vegetation as a nuisance and fire hazard. Property owners must maintain landscaping in presentable condition.
Under TMC §92.5.14, front yards may not be paved more than 50% and must have maintained landscaping. TMC §92.13.1 limits bushes and shrubbery to 4 feet in height. TMC §92.32.5 prohibits stagnant water from standing or collecting on private property. TMC §92.32.6 prohibits parking vehicles on grass, dirt, gravel, or landscaped areas. Code Enforcement requires that vegetation be maintained when it overhangs the public right-of-way impeding traffic, or poses health/safety risks, or is dead. Overgrown vegetation is identified as a common code enforcement violation.
Unmaintained landscaping, dead vegetation, and overgrown yards are code enforcement violations. Report to Environmental Division at (310) 618-5929.
