ROH Section 40-7.4 requires Pearl City property owners to remove weeds, garbage, trash, and waste within 30 days of a DPP notice, or face city abatement, a billed lien, and 7 percent interest.
Chapter 40 Article 7 and specifically Section 40-7.4 form the main blight enforcement framework. The DPP director issues a written notice identifying weeds, garbage, trash, or waste that endangers health or safety. Owners have 30 days to cut, haul, and dispose. Non-compliance authorizes city crews to perform the work, bill the owner, and record a lien at 7 percent annual interest. In Pearl City where military members may deploy, owners should appoint a local contact or property manager to receive and act on notices to avoid liens accruing during absences. The notice names specific hazards and remedies required.
Uncorrected accumulations after the 30-day deadline allow the city to abate, bill, and lien the property, with the interest-bearing charge surviving until paid or the property sells.
