Riverside Municipal Code Ch. 1.10 Notice of Pendency

The procedures for filing a notice of pendency in the course of enforcement of the provisions of this Code shall be governed by the procedure prescribed in this chapter.

(Ord. 7341 § 1, 2016; Ord. 6417 § 1, 1997)

When any administrative proceeding is initiated to enforce the provisions of this Code relating to real property, the Community & Economic Development Director, Public Works Director, Building Official, Code Enforcement Manager, or their designated representatives may record a notice of pendency of administrative proceeding on the affected property in the Riverside County Recorder's Office. Such notice of pendency may be recorded, at the discretion of the City, at any time after the commencement of the administrative proceeding on any property on which violations of this Code occur. Upon recordation, such notice shall have the same effect as a notice recorded pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 405.20, et seq.

(Ord. 7341 § 1, 2016; Ord. 6844 § 1, 2006; Ord. 6417 § 1, 1997)

Any notice of pendency of action or proceeding filed pursuant to this chapter may, upon request of a party with an interest in the property, be released upon an appropriate showing to the Community & Economic Development Department-Code Enforcement Division. The request to process the release of notice of pendency will be responded to within ten business days. If the request is approved, a release of notice of pendency will be recorded in the Office of the Riverside County Recorder, where the notice of pendency is recorded. Upon the recordation of the release of notice of pendency, the notice of pendency of the action or proceeding shall not constitute constructive notice of any of the matters contained therein nor create any duty of inquiry in any person thereafter dealing with the property described therein. An aggrieved party that receives a denial of a request for release of notice of pendency may appeal the decision pursuant to Section 1.17.100 of the Code within 60 days of written notice of the decision.
