Chino Hills, CA Property Maintenance: Property Blight (2026)

Chino Hills is an incorporated city in San Bernardino County and enforces its own Municipal Code rather than relying on County ordinances. The City's Code Enforcement Division (within Community Development) handles property-maintenance and blight complaints. According to the City's Code Enforcement page, common violations it investigates include 'Landscaping or Property Not Maintained,' 'Vegetation/Objects Obstructing the Sidewalk/Street,' 'Green Pools or Stagnant Water,' 'Abandoned/Inoperable Vehicles (private property),' 'Bulky Items Illegally Dumped,' and graffiti on private property. The City states that Code Enforcement 'responds to citizens' reports of observed and alleged violations of the Municipal Code.' Nuisance conditions are addressed under Title 8 (Health and Safety) of the Code, where Chapter 8.12 governs Nuisances. Enforcement is typically complaint-driven and progresses from a courtesy notice to formal notices of violation and abatement. Because the City has not published specific blight dollar-fine schedules on its public pages, residents should contact Code Enforcement directly for current penalty amounts. This is a City of Chino Hills program; it is distinct from the City of Chino and from San Bernardino County code enforcement.
