II. Abatement SUmmary
On March 4, 2016 a Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate was prepared and posted at 8875 N. State Hwy 29, Upper Lake, CA, and mailed, certified to the property owner of record due to open and outdoor storage of garbage, trash and debris. The Abatement Notice provided Ms. Madia with 30 days to abate the property.
Many attempts were made to encourage the property owner into cleaning up the property and over time, little progress was noted. It was then decided to organize some volunteers to help her in bringing the property into compliance. Garbage, trash and debris from the interior of the dwelling was bagged up, removed from the property and properly disposed of. However, while arranging for an additional clean-up for Ms. Madia, it was discovered that due to some health reasons, she had been placed into a care facility to receive some help.
It was then decided by Code Enforcement staff that further abatement by the County was needed on the property and on April 18, 2018 staff from Code Enforcement solicited and obtained bids for further abatement of the weeds, removal of remaining garbage, trash and debris on the property.
On May 3, 2018, a local contractor was hired and started work soon after. On May 16, 2018 a follow up site visit was conducted confirming the contractor had completed the work.
