Rancho Cordova Municipal Code Art. IX Summary Abatement

If, in the opinion of the enforcement official, there exists a condition on any premises which is of such a nature as to be imminently dangerous to the public health, safety or welfare, which, if not abated according to the procedures of this code, would, during the pendency of the proceedings, subject the public to potential harm of a serious nature, the same may be summarily abated forthwith without compliance with the provisions of this code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a reasonable effort shall be made to notify the owner of the premises in advance of abatement.
