Hidden Hills Municipal Code Art. K Violation of Provisions

A. Notice of Intention to Record Notice of Violation: Whenever the City has knowledge that real property has been divided in violation of the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act or this Chapter, it shall cause to be filed for record with the County Recorder a notice of intention to record a notice of violation describing the real property in detail, naming the owners thereof, describing the violation and stating that an opportunity will be given to the owners to present evidence.

B. Copy to Owners: Upon recording a notice of intention to record a notice of violation, the City shall mail a copy of such notice to the owner of the real property. The notice shall specify the time, date and place at which the owner may present evidence to the Planning Agency why such notice should not be recorded.

C. Consideration of Evidence; Filing of Release or Notice of Violation: If, after the owner has presented evidence, it is determined that there has been no violation, the City shall record a release of the notice of intention to record a notice of violation with the County Recorder. If, however, after the owner has presented evidence, the Planning Agency determines that the property has, in fact, been illegally divided, or within 60 days after receipt of such copy, the owner of the real property fails to inform the Planning Agency of his objection to the recording of the notice of violation, the Planning Agency shall record the notice of violation with the County Recorder.

D. Constructive Notice: The notice of intention to record a notice of violation and the notice of violation, when recorded, shall be deemed constructive notice of violation to all successors in interest to such property.
