Kapolei property owners must clear weeds, garbage, and waste under ROH Section 40-7.4 within 30 days of a DPP notice or face city abatement with a 7% interest lien.
Section 40-7.4 allows Honolulu DPP to order clean-up of weeds, accumulated trash, and nuisance materials. Owners have 30 days to comply or the city hires a contractor to perform the work and assesses costs plus 7% annual interest as a lien. Kapolei's warm, dry conditions and frequent trade winds accelerate vegetation growth and fire risk, making 40-7.4 a practical concern. Commercial and mixed-use parcels in the city core also fall under this provision, and repeat offenders may face escalating penalties beyond the initial abatement.
Non-compliance results in city-performed abatement, liens with 7% interest, and potential misdemeanor exposure for chronic cases.
