The Council of the City of Los Angeles finds and declares that:

(b) Structures that are vacant and not properly secured are extremely vulnerable to being set on fire by unauthorized persons.
(c) Structures that are vacant and unsecured or barricaded are a blight and cause deterioration and instability in neighborhoods.
(d) Structures that are vacant and unsecured or barricaded pose serious threats to the public’s health and safety and therefore are declared to be public nuisances.
(e) Immediate abatement and rehabilitation of these structures is necessary and can be accomplished by using the judicial or administrative procedures found in this Code.
