§ 2862 Nuisance Abatement Authority

• •If someone doesn't fix a problem (like trash or noise) after being warned, the government can step in and fix it themselves.
• •The government will give you time to fix the problem first.
• •If you ignore the warning, they can take action without asking you again.

Your neighbor has a pile of trash in their yard that smells bad and attracts rats.

The government tells your neighbor to clean it up in 10 days. If they don’t, the government can send workers to clean it up and charge your neighbor for the cost.
