In accordance with Gardena Municipal Code Section 8.64, it is the duty of the owner, agent of the owner, lessee or occupant or person in possession of any property, building or structure to maintain it free of public nuisances.
The Public Works Department has responsibility for abating all public nuisance violations related to weeds. When the City reasonably believes a public nuisance exists, Public Works initiates an abatement proceeding which may result in all fees expended in the abatement of the nuisance to be recorded with the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office as a debt to the City.
