Redondo Beach, CA Property Maintenance: Vacant Lot Maintenance (2026)

Redondo Beach Municipal Code Article 2 of Chapter 2, Title 5, covers weeds, rubbish, and stagnant water on any property in the City, occupied or vacant. 201 makes it unlawful for an owner, agent, or occupant to fail to keep premises in a clean, sanitary, and wholesome condition. 202 separately bans letting manure, garbage, offal, rubbish, stagnant water, or other filthy or offensive matter accumulate or remain on the premises. 203 targets stagnant or marshy water that breeds mosquitoes, declaring it a public nuisance outright.

204, whenever the City Engineer finds weeds, rubbish, diseased trees, or other material on a lot, or on the street or sidewalk fronting it, that could endanger neighboring property or public health, the Engineer must give notice to remove it. 205 requires that notice to be posted conspicuously on the property in letters at least one inch tall, headed 'Notice to Clean Premises,' with a mailed copy following within three days. 206, and the Council's decision is final. 207 lets the City Engineer remove it directly. 209 adds a 10% penalty for late payment plus a 50-cent notice charge.
