Oakley Municipal Code Art. 1 Purpose and Intent

The City Council finds that foreclosed and abandoned residential properties pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City of Oakley. The detrimental effects from the lack of security and maintenance of foreclosed and abandoned properties include dangerous attractive nuisances, increased opportunity for crimes such as squatting, vandalism and burglaries, which discourage buyers from purchasing neighboring homes, lower property values, and cause blight.
