Chapter 98 — UNOCCUPIED BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES

When the Building Official finds that any unoccupied building or structure is not properly secured, locked or closed; is accessible to juveniles, transients and undesirables; and is a health, fire or safety hazard to the adjacent community, the Building Official shall serve the record owner and (if not the owner) the person having control of such building or structure with a notice to secure or close the structure so as to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to it.

The notice provided for in Section 9801 shall inform the record owner and (if not the owner) the persons having control of such building or structure that:

The Building Official may, but is not required to, send copies of any notice provided for in Section 9801 to the holder of any mortgage, trust deed or other liens or encumbrance; the holder or owner of any lease; or the holder of any other estate or interest in or to the building or structure or the land upon which it is located.

A copy of the notice shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the building or structure, which is the subject of the notice. Further, the Building Official may cause to be posted on such building a sign or signs to read:

VACATED BUILDING – DO NOT ENTER OR DAMAGE BY ORDER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING AND SAFETY.

Such sign may contain additional information and warnings that, in the opinion of the Building Official, are expedient. Such notice shall remain posted until the building again is lawfully occupied. A person shall not remove such notice without the written permission of the Building Official. A person, other than a person having the right of occupancy, shall not enter the building.

Proper service of any notice required by this chapter shall be by personal service or by first class mail upon the record owner, any lien holder and any person having control of such building or structures. In the event the Building official is unable to serve any notice on any person as specified above, proper service on such person shall be by posting the notice in a conspicuous place on the building or structure.

The failure of any owner or other person to receive a notice shall not affect in any manner the validity of any proceedings under this chapter.

Within 10 days after service upon the record owner of a notice pursuant to Section 9801, the said record owner or any other person deeming himself or herself aggrieved may request a hearing.

Upon receiving a request for hearing, the Building Official shall set the matter for hearing before the Board of Appeals and shall serve notice not less than 10 days before the hearing upon the person requesting such hearing and upon every person upon whom the notice provided for in Section 9801 was served.

Except as inconsistent with any other provisions of this chapter, all procedures taken by the Board of Appeals of Housing Code and Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, as appropriate and the city shall be as provided in this code.

§ 8.04.270

§ 8.04.300

If a person is properly served a notice pursuant to Section 9801 to secure or close a building to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access and if neither that person nor any other person requests a hearing, or if after a hearing the Board of Appeals or Housing Advisory and Appeals Board of the Housing Code or the Board of Appeals for the Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, as appropriate determines that such person is obliged to secure or close such building, the City may perform the work as provided in this ordinance in the case of substandard or unsafe buildings if such building is not secured or closed within 10 days after service of notice, if no hearing is requested, or within the time specified by the Board of Appeals.

At the request of the Building Official, the Director of the Public Works department shall secure or close any building or structure subject to the provisions of Section 9809 so as to limit unauthorized access. The Director of Public Works shall keep an accurate record of the cost of such work.

Any lien for the cost incurred by the City in securing a building or structure from unlawful entry shall be subordinate to any mortgage, trust deed or other lien of any person who received no notice pursuant to either Section 9801 or 9807.

Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to preclude, prohibit or restrict the Building Official from securing the prompt demolition or repair of buildings found to be substandard or unsafe under other provisions of the code.

Whenever the conditions described in Section 9801 constitute such an immediate hazard that access to the building or structure must be limited or closed immediately or within less than the designated period and either the sheriff or the chief of the fire department so finds and so notifies the Building Official, then he or she shall limit access to such building through the Director of Public Works (as provided in Section 9810) or by contract, or otherwise, after giving such notice to the record owner or the person in charge, or both as the circumstances will permit or without any notice whatever when, in the opinion of the sheriff or chief of the fire department, immediate action is necessary.

The provisions of this chapter that provide for hearings shall apply to any person having any right, title or interest in any building secured pursuant to Section 9813. Such person may request a hearing as to the necessity and reasonable cost of the work performed pursuant to Section 9813 within 10 days after the building is secured or within 10 days after receiving notice of such work.

The vertical bar shall extend to 3 inches (76 mm) clear of the bottom of the footing, have a standard hook and extend a minimum of 14 inches (357 mm) into the stem wall.

In Seismic Design Categories D0, D1 and D2 where a grouted masonry stem wall is supported on a concrete footing and stem wall, a minimum of one No. 4 bar shall be installed at not more than 4 feet (1219 mm) on center. The vertical bar shall extend to 3 inches (76 mm) clear of the bottom of the footing and have a standard hook.

In Seismic Design Categories D0, D1 and D2 masonry stem walls without solid grout and vertical reinforcing are not permitted.
