Code Enforcement

[Douglas Armendarez]

This is an opposite look at eviction. I have some friends that just got a 30 day eviction notice from the city code enforcement office (in California). My question: because this is a safety issue, how does the eviction timeline differ from a regular eviction. Should they be in a panic, while I work to find them another house, or should the 30 day notice not be taken that seriously, especially since once I find them something they will probably be starting into a 30 day escrow. Thanks for your knowledge!

shat municipality is this in? 

Or is it unincorporated county?

If a Notice of Substandard was filed, the matter is escalating. If water tuned off by utility, then this ain't going to go away. 

Do you know what was recorded? 

Under what violation? Health and safety code?

How were they served?

Is City attorney the plaintiff? 

Is it a contract law firm? What us name of the attorney and law firm?

You see, you offer few answers that, until answered, we can't give you a meaningful  response.
