Under ROH Section 40-7.4, DPP may order Ewa Gentry property owners to clear weeds, garbage, and waste within 30 days or face city abatement with costs plus 7% interest as a property lien.
Section 40-7.4 is the primary blight-enforcement tool on Oahu. The Department of Planning and Permitting notifies owners of overgrown vegetation, accumulated trash, abandoned items, or conditions that harbor vermin or create fire hazards. Owners have 30 days to cut, remove, and restore the property. Failure allows the city to perform the work and assess costs plus 7% annual interest as a lien against the property. In Ewa Gentry, HOA covenants often impose stricter maintenance standards that run parallel to city enforcement, so owners can face both HOA fines and city liens.
Ignoring a 40-7.4 notice results in city abatement, monetary liens, and possible misdemeanor charges for repeat offenders.
