Vallejo, CA Property Maintenance: Property Blight (2026)

040 declares any property maintained in violation a public nuisance subject to abatement by rehabilitation, demolition or repair. 090. An appeal requires filing a form and fee, or a fee-waiver affidavit modeled on Judicial Council form FW-001, within thirty days of the notice; the code enforcement appeals board then sets a hearing between fifteen and sixty days out. 060(C) lets the supervisor summarily abate it, including boarding windows or fencing the property, without prior notice. 150(C)(4). 160 skips the warning notice and gives only thirty days to re-abate.
