Weed-Filled Lots Declared Nuisances
- Share via
Intent on preventing unnecessary fire hazards, the Simi Valley City Council on Monday declared 29 tumbleweed-infested properties public nuisances, clearing the way for city-hired crews to clear the sites at the owners’ expense.
Monday night’s vote is one in a series of steps the city takes each year to ensure removal of flammable weeds, which break free in high winds and blow into traffic.
Property owners had been asked to remove the weeds by the end of October. They will be given an additional week to remove the weeds before a city hires a contractor to do the job.
