Livermore prohibits blighted property conditions including junk, debris, inoperable vehicles, and overgrown vegetation visible from the street.
Livermore Municipal Code Title 6 declares property blight a public nuisance. Prohibited conditions include accumulated junk, discarded appliances, abandoned or inoperable vehicles (defined as missing wheels, motor, or current registration), broken windows, graffiti left more than 10 days, dead landscaping, and structures in disrepair. Code Enforcement issues a notice to abate; failure to comply can result in administrative fines of $100, $200, and $500 per day, and the City may abate the nuisance and record a lien under Government Code 38773.
