Los Angeles Rent Rules (LAMC excerpts) · 2025 edition · ingested 2026-07-08 · Los Angeles

(Amended by Ord. No. 185,587, Eff. 7/16/18.)

Any Vacant Structure that was originally secured by the Responsible Person's voluntary actions or pursuant to administrative or judicial order may be declared a permanent public nuisance by the Superintendent if the structure subsequently becomes open and unsecured, thereby requiring additional reinspection and resecuring of the structure by either the Responsible Person or the Superintendent. The Superintendent of Building may seek demolition of this continuous public nuisance by seeking a court order or by following any of the administrative abatement procedures set forth in Division 89, Article 1, Chapter IX of the LAMC.
