Vacant lots must be kept free of weeds, debris, and trash under San Leandro nuisance abatement and weed abatement programs.
Under California Government Code 39560 et seq., San Leandro declares weeds and rubbish on vacant parcels a public nuisance and conducts annual abatement. Property owners are notified each spring and given time to cut weeds and remove debris before city contractors do the work. Costs plus administrative fees become a special assessment against the parcel. Fencing of vacant urban lots may be required to prevent dumping.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
