RBMC Title 5, Chapter 2 (Weeds, Rubbish, and Stagnant Water) declares noxious weeds and rank vegetation on private property a public nuisance in Redondo Beach. Owners must keep premises free of overgrown vegetation; if they fail, the City may clear the weeds and charge the cost to the property.
Under RBMC Title 5, Chapter 2, it is unlawful for any owner, lessee, agent, or occupant to fail, refuse, or neglect to keep premises clean, sanitary, and wholesome. Noxious weeds and other rank growth or vegetation on private property are expressly declared nuisances, along with accumulations of rubbish and stagnant water that breed insects or rodents. Code Enforcement first seeks voluntary compliance, providing notice and a timeframe to cut and remove the vegetation. If the owner does not abate, the City may enter and remove the weeds and assess the abatement cost against the property, consistent with California Government Code weed-abatement procedures for cities. Tall, dry vegetation may also raise fire-hazard concerns enforced through the fire code.
Failure to clear noxious weeds or rank vegetation after a City notice can result in administrative citations, City abatement with costs assessed against the property, and prosecution as a misdemeanor or infraction under RBMC Title 5.
