Corcoran Municipal Code Ch. 6 Numbering Buildings

A. It shall be the duty of every owner of real estate in the city, upon which there is a structure, to place or cause to be placed on or in front of such structure in a conspicuous place from the sidewalk or street as approved by the building official, street numbers in such contrasting color and of such dimensions as to make such numbers clearly legible from the sidewalk or street in front of the building. The numbers are to be corresponding numbers according to the numbering of the lot upon which the building is located as per the official map on file in the city hall.

B. All new structures erected shall have proper numbers placed thereon before a certificate of occupancy will be issued. (Ord. 488, 5-20-1991)

A. Failure To Comply: If any owner of an existing structure shall fail or neglect to comply with the provisions of this chapter, the building official is hereby authorized and instructed to purchase and install property numbers. The cost of such numbers, labor for placing them, and administrative cost are set at one hundred dollars ($100.00). If not paid by the owner of record, such cost shall be, and is hereby declared to constitute, a lien against the property. (Ord. 564, 12-3-2002)

B. Nuisance Abatement Lien; Ordinance; Procedures; Fees:

1. The city council may by ordinance establish a procedure to collect abatement and related administrative costs by a nuisance abatement lien. Said ordinance shall require notice prior to the recordation of the lien to the owner of record of the parcel of land on which the nuisance is maintained, based on the last equalized assessment roll or the supplemental roll, whichever is more current.

2. The notice shall be served in the same manner as summons in a civil action in accordance with article 3 (commencing with section 415.10) of chapter 4 of title 5 of part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure. If the owner of record, after diligent search cannot be found, the notice may be served by posting a copy thereof in a conspicuous place upon the property for a period of ten (10) days and publication thereof in a newspaper of general circulation published in the county in which the property is located pursuant to section 6062.

3. A nuisance abatement lien shall be recorded in the county recorder's office in the county in which the parcel of land is located and from the date of recording shall have the force, effect, and priority of a judgment lien.

a. A nuisance abatement lien authorized by this section shall specify the amount of the lien, the name of the agency on whose behalf the lien is imposed, the date of the abatement order, the street address, legal description and assessor's parcel number of the parcel on which the lien is imposed, and the name and address of the recorded owner of the parcel.

b. In the event that the lien is discharged, released or satisfied, either through payment or foreclosure, notice of the discharge containing the information specified in subsection B3a of this section shall be recorded by the governmental agency. A nuisance abatement lien and the release of the lien shall be indexed in the grantor-grantee index.

c. A nuisance abatement lien may be foreclosed by an action by the city for a money judgment.

d. Notwithstanding section 6103, section 27383, or any other provision of law, the county recorder may impose a fee on the city to reimburse the costs of processing and recording the lien and providing notice to the property owner. The city may recover from the property owner any costs incurred regarding the processing and recording of the lien and providing notice to the property owner as part of its foreclosure action to enforce the lien.
