Sacramento Municipal Code Art. I In General

This chapter shall be known as the "nuisance code," may be cited as such, and will be referred to herein as "this code." (Ord. 2000-017 § 4(a)(17); prior code § 61.01.101)

A. It is the intent of the council of the city in adopting this code to provide a comprehensive method for the identification and abatement of certain public nuisances within the city.

B. Provisions of this code are to be supplementary and complementary to all of the provisions of the city code, state law, and any law cognizable at common law or in equity, and nothing herein shall be read, interpreted or construed in any manner so as to limit any existing right or power of the city to abate any and all nuisances. (Prior code § 61.01.102)

The provisions of this code shall apply generally to all property throughout the city wherein any of the conditions, hereinafter specified, are found to exist; provided, however, that any condition which would constitute a violation of this code, but which is duly authorized under any city, state or federal law, shall not be deemed to violate this code. (Prior code § 61.01.103)
