Noxious weeds, rank vegetation, and dry brush on private property are declared a public nuisance in Redondo Beach, and the City may order owners to abate them or clear the lot at the owner's cost.
The Redondo Beach Municipal Code (Title 5, Weeds, Rubbish and Stagnant Water) makes it unlawful to permit noxious weeds or other rank growth and requires premises to be kept clean and sanitary, free of accumulations of rubbish or offensive matter. Overgrown weeds and dry brush that pose a fire or health hazard can be abated through the City's nuisance process: notice to the owner, opportunity to correct, then City abatement if ignored. Los Angeles County Fire separately conducts hazardous-vegetation/weed-abatement inspections for fire risk on brush and vacant parcels in the area.
If an owner fails to abate after notice, the City clears the property and recovers the abatement cost as a special assessment or lien against the parcel.
