1. Any building or structure set up, erected, constructed, altered, enlarged, converted, moved or maintained contrary to the provisions of this Zoning Code, and any use of any land, building or premises established, conducted, operated or maintained contrary to the provisions of this Zoning Code shall be, and the same is declared to be unlawful and a public nuisance.
2. Any building or structure set up, erected, constructed, altered, enlarged, converted, or moved without the necessary permits and approvals from the City shall be considered as an illegal structure and declared to be unlawful and a public nuisance.
3. Failing to secure required land use or permit approval prior to establishing a permitted use.

5. Violations of property maintenance standards including but not limited to outdoor storage, yard encroachment and performance standards that occur shall be declared to be unlawful and a public nuisance.
6. Every successive owner of the property who fails or neglects to correct a violation or to abate a continuing nuisance upon or in the use of such property, created by the former owner, is liable criminally and civilly in the same manner as the one who first created it.
K. Limitation on action. The Community Development Director may choose to undertake any, or a combination of legal actions against a property owner or responsible person to correct and abate any nuisance or violation of the Zoning Code including but not limited to obtaining an inspection warrant from the Superior Court, referral of a case to the City Prosecutor or City Attorney, injunctive relief, public nuisance abatement or other remedy as provided by law.
L. Recovery costs and damages.

Whenever the Community Development Director has knowledge that a public nuisance exists on any property within the City of Hawaiian Gardens and the property owner or responsible person has failed to comply within 60 days of the notice of violation or warning notice, the Community Development Director shall record a notice of violation against the parcel with the Los Angeles County Recorder's office. A release of the notice shall be recorded upon satisfactory compliance with this Zoning Code. The cost to record and remove the notices shall be established by the fee resolution as approved by the City Council.
18.100.190 – Reasonable accommodations.
A. Purpose. This section provides a procedure to request reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities seeking equal access to housing under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Federal Fair Housing Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (also known as the Acts) in the application of zoning laws and other land use regulations, policies, and procedures.
B. Eligible applicants. A request for reasonable accommodation may be made by any person with a disability, their representative or other entity, when the application of a zoning law or other land use regulation, policy, or practice acts as a barrier to fair housing opportunities. A person with a disability is a person who has a physical or mental impairment that limits or substantially limits one or more major life activities, anyone who is regarded as having this type of impairment, or anyone who has a record of this type of impairment. This section is intended to apply to those persons who are defined as disabled under the Acts.
C. Eligible requests. A request for reasonable accommodation may include a modification or exception to the rules, standards, and practices for the siting, development, and use of housing or housing-related facilities that would eliminate regulatory barriers and provide a person with a disability equal opportunity to housing of their choice.
D. Application requirements. An application for a reasonable accommodation shall be filed with the Community Development Department in compliance with Section
18.100.020 administrative procedures. A fee shall not be required for a request for reasonable accommodation unless the project requires another discretionary permit(s), then the prescribed fee in compliance with the City's master fee schedule shall be paid for all other discretionary permits.
E. Review with other land use application(s). If the project for which the request for reasonable accommodation is being made also requires other discretionary approval(s) (e.g., conditional use permit, etc.), the applicant shall file the information required by this section together with the information required for the other discretionary approval(s).
F. Review authority.
1. Community Development Director. A request for reasonable accommodation shall be reviewed and determined by the Community Development Director if no approval is sought other than the request for reasonable accommodation.
2. Other review authority. A request for reasonable accommodation submitted for concurrent review with another discretionary land use application(s) (e.g., conditional use permit, etc.) shall be reviewed and determined by the authority reviewing the other discretionary land use application(s).
G. Review procedure.
1. Community Development Director's action. The Community Development Director shall make a written decision within 45 days and either approve, approve with conditions and/or modifications, or deny a request for reasonable accommodation in compliance with subsection H. findings and decision below.
2. Other review authority. The written decision on whether to approve or deny the request for reasonable accommodation shall be made by the authority responsible for reviewing the discretionary land use application(s) in compliance with the applicable review procedure. The written decision to approve or deny the request for reasonable accommodation shall be made in compliance with subsection H. findings and decision below.
H. Findings and decision. The written decision to approve or deny a request for reasonable accommodation shall be consistent with the Acts and shall be based on consideration of all of the following factors:
1. Whether the housing subject of the request will be used by an individual defined as disabled under the Acts;
2. Whether the request for reasonable accommodation is necessary to make specific housing available to an individual with a disability under the Acts;
3. Whether the requested reasonable accommodation would impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the City;
4. Whether the requested reasonable accommodation would require a fundamental alteration in the nature of a City program or law, including but not limited to land use and zoning;
5. Physical attributes of the property and structures; and
6. The availability of alternative reasonable accommodations that may provide an equivalent level of benefit.
