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.
