Latest version.
  • Any construction materials or storage devices placed or maintained in violation of this article, or after the expiration of the related permit, may be removed and stored by the city upon notice to permittee or the owner, if known, and the persons responsible for the violation may be cited and prosecuted. The director of public services shall establish procedures to provide notice to the permittee and the owner, if known, and an opportunity to be heard prior to the removal, except that when immediate action is required to prevent injury to persons or property, the procedures shall provide for notice and an opportunity to be heard as soon as reasonably possible after the removal. Any removal and storage charges shall be due and payable by the owner or possessor of the materials or devices before their release. If no owner or possessor claims the materials or devices within thirty (30) days of their removal, they may be sold for costs in the manner provided by the California Government Code for the disposal of abandoned or unclaimed property generally.
