Ordinance of the City of San Bernardino Amending Section 10.16.150 of
the San Bernardino Municipal Code relating to Code Compliance
Authority to Abate Abandoned Vehicles on Public Streets.
Currently, the Code Compliance Division is authorized to abate vehicles on private property
pursuant to San Bernardino Municipal Chapters 8.30 and 15.24.
The authority to conduct vehicle abatements on public property is specifically granted to the
Facilities Management Department in San Bernardino Municipal Code Chapter 10.16.
When the Code Compliance Division reorganized in 1996 and merged with the Rental Housing,
Neighborhood Services and the Vehicle Abatement Unit, it was intended that Code Compliance
would assume the Facilities Management responsibility to abate abandoned vehicles on public
streets. As a result, Code Compliance obtained the Facilities Management vehicle abatement
budget and personnel to conduct the vehicle abatements, however, they currently lack the express
authority in the Municipal Code to act.
By passing this amendment to Chapter 10.16 ofthe San Bernardino Municipal Code, the Code
Compliance Division is authorized and empowered to remove abandoned vehicles from public
streets.
