Chapter 17.82 — EXISTING GRADING

A. Hazardous Conditions. Whenever the City Engineer determines that any existing excavation, embankment or fill on private property has become a hazard to life and limb, or endangers structures, or adversely affects the safety, use or stability of a public way or drainage channel, the owner of the property upon which the excavation, embankment, or fill is located, or other person or agent in control of said property, upon receipt of notice in writing from the City Engineer shall within the period specified therein repair, reconstruct or remove such excavation, embankment, or fill so as to eliminate the hazard, in conformance with the requirements of this code.

B. Maintenance of Protective Devices and Rodent Control. The owner of any property on which grading has been performed pursuant to a permit issued under the provisions of this code, or any other person or agent in control of such property, shall maintain in good condition and repair all drainage structures and other protective devices including dust prevention and control and burrowing rodent control when shown on the grading plans filed with the application for grading permit and approved as a condition precedent to the issuance of such permit.

C. Correlation with Other Sections. The provisions of this section are independent of the provisions of the City Building Code relating to building and property rehabilitation. This section may be invoked even though the same facts have been the reason for a determination that there is substandard property subject to the provisions of the City Building Code.
