GOVERNMENT CODE 484308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
The Code Enforcement Division is the primary division within the City of Santa Ana
responsible for resolving public nuisances related to abandoned properties, illegal
occupancy, vacant land, and unsecured buildings on residential, commercial, and public
right-of-way areas, following approval from the Executive Director of the Planning and
Building Agency. Beyond these, the Division addresses weed abatement, sanitation,
and rubbish removal on occupied properties through legal administrative means. Large-
scale abatement efforts may need the use of specialized machinery, including track
loaders, truck and semi-end dump trailer combinations, water trucks, high-reach
forklifts, stake bed trucks, and backhoes, especially when biohazardous materials are
involved.
Unmaintained properties—whether abandoned, substandard, or neglected—attract
crime and vandalism, posing a significant threat to the health and safety of the
surrounding community. These dangerous structures often become public nuisances,
attracting graffiti, vermin, overgrown vegetation, dumping, encampments, and
trespassing. Even abandoned swimming pools can become breeding grounds for
Trash, Weeds, Rubbish, Sanitation Abatement, and Board Up Services

insects and a serious drowning risk.
The Code Enforcement Division is responsible for investigating and resolving these
hazardous conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, issues such as unsecured or
open structures, vacant lots, unfenced parcels, overgrown vegetation, accumulated
trash and debris, and unkempt swimming pools. As defined by California Health and
Safety Code (Section 17920.3), these conditions create immediate dangers, severe
blight, and threaten public life, health, property, and safety.
In addition to the California Health and Safety Code, the Santa Ana Municipal Code
(SAMC) designates all dangerous buildings or portions thereof as public nuisances.
These nuisances must be corrected through repair, rehabilitation, demolition, or
removal. When City inspections uncover such hazardous conditions, a formal notice is
issued to the property owner, requiring them to remedy the issues promptly. If the owner
fails to correct the hazardous conditions within the specified timeframe, the City may
hire a contractor to perform the necessary abatement. This can include weed and
sanitation clean-ups, boarding up structures, and other measures to secure the
property. All costs associated with the abatement, along with administrative fees
authorized by Santa Ana Municipal Code Chapter 17, are then billed to the property
owner.
Cost Recovery and Legal Action
The City actively pursues reimbursement of all resulting abatement costs from the
property owner. If these costs are not repaid in a timely manner, they are referred to the
Orange County Tax Assessor to be recorded as a lien on the property. Furthermore, the
City Attorney's Office may initiate criminal action against the property owner.
Consultant Selection
In some cases, the Code Enforcement Division hires qualified, experienced consultants
for specific projects. Being on the City's pre-approved list does not guarantee work.
Firms are selected based on their ability to perform the required work within specific
timeframes and budget constraints. This streamlined approval process allows the City to
quickly engage expert assistance, respond effectively to fluctuating demands, and
ultimately provide better service to the City of Santa Ana.
Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-085 was issued on June 3, 2025 on the City's
online bid management and publication system. A summary of vendor participation and
results is as follows:
1 Santa Ana vendor notified
22 Vendors downloaded the RFP packet
6 Proposals received
1 Proposal received from Santa Ana vendor
Trash, Weeds, Rubbish, Sanitation Abatement, and Board Up Services
August 5, 2025
Page 3
Proposals were solicited, opened on June 17, 2025, and evaluated. Six proposals were
submitted by the RFP deadline and four (4) were determined to be responsive to the
specifications and met the City's requirements. An evaluation committee reviewed and
rated the proposals according to the criteria listed in the RFP. The proposal submitted
by the vendor from Santa Ana was disqualified because it was incomplete and was not
responsive to the RFP's pricing requirements.
Staff recommends awarding the four (4) agreements with: SLS Property Solutions, Inc.;
Real Estate Consulting & Services, Inc.; Quality Sprayers, Inc.; and Hunter Consulting,
Inc. DBA HCI Environmental & Engineering Services, which provided complete and
qualifying responses to the City's RFP (Exhibits 1-4).
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding will be available in current FY 25-26 budget and funding for subsequent fiscal
years will be included in the proposed budgets for the city Council Consideration. As
noted in the Cost Recovery and Legal Action section, these costs are expected to be
reimbursed by the property owner. Reimbursements will be deposited into Account
12116002-53507 (Planning's Special Repair/ Demolition — Emergency Repair
Assessment).

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Board Up Procedures:
The USFA National Arson Prevention Initiative Board Up Procedures is incorporated
herein by reference and are hereby accepted as Reference Specifications. These
Reference Specifications are intended to govern certain construction materials, methods,
and details with some additional modification herein.
A. Security Measures
1) All openings in the basement, crawl spaces, garages, first floor doors and windows, and
any point of entry accessible from a porch, fire escape or other potential climbing point
shall be barricaded with plywood, 2x4 braces, carriage bolt sets, specialized head/drive
screws, and nails, unless stated otherwise.
NOTE: General contractor screws, particleboard, wafer board, Masonite, or other
similar material shall NOT be used for purposes of boarding-up a building.
2) Garage Doors and Openings at least 10'from ground level which are not accessible from
a porch, fire escape, roof, or other climbing point can be secured with nails every 12"
around the perimeter. For all openings, the plywood should be fitted so that it rests snugly
against the exterior frame, butting up to the siding on wood frame buildings and up to the
brick molding edge on brick buildings. It may be necessary to remove the staff bead so
this fit can be flush and tight.
3) The structure shall be posted with a NO TRESPASSING sign at the completion of the
board-up.
4) The Commercial property with full windows or glass facades shall be blacked out and
adhesive shall be used to attach the plywood to the glass from the interior to prevent
shattering. Plywood shall be secured to the window/glass framing.
5) ONLY Interior Boarding shall require blackout of windows and be secured with plywood
and 2x4 braces fasten to the wall with deck nails and specialized star-drive head screws.
B. Materials
1) Plywood, 1/2" (4 ply) exterior grade CDX
2) Braces - 2" by 4" by 8' (or longer) construction grade lumber
3) 3/8" (coarse thread) by 12" (or longer) carriage bolts (rounded head on weather side)
4) 3/8" (coarse thread) construction grade nuts
CITY OF SANTA ANA
5) 1/2" (USS Standard) Flat washers with an inside diameter large enough to bypass the
wrench neck inside the carriage bolt head so no lift edge is available beneath an installed
carriage bolt head.
6) 3/8" (USS Standard) diameter flat washers for installation beneath the nut inside the building
7) Combination of 2"-3" deck nails and 2"-3" Star-drive screws; T-20, T-25, etc.
C. Barrier Assembly
1) Plywood shall be cut to fit over the window and door openings, flush with outside of the
molding/trimmer stud.Application of barriers shall be completed so that all lift or pry points
are avoided. Plywood board shall be solid sheets without seams or joints.
2) The 2x4 braces shall be cut to fit the horizontal dimension of the plywood. Two exterior
and two interior 2x4 braces shall be provided for each window and three sets for each
door.
3) Window Assembly — Braces are located horizontally approximately 1/3 of the distance
from the top and the bottom of the window. Bolt holes are located 1/3 of the length of the
brace from the outside edge of the windowjams. Prior to installation, the assembly should
be pre-assembled and 3/8" holes drilled through all of the components.
4) Door Assembly—Door braces will be placed horizontally; one in the center of the doorway
and one 1/2 the distance from the center to the top and one 1/2 distance from the center
to the bottom of the doorway. Bolt holes are located 1/3 of the length of the brace from
the outside edge of the doorframe. Prior to installation, the assembly should be pre-
assembled and 3/8" holes drilled through all of the components.
5) Plywood used to cover exterior openings shall be nailed every 12" along the perimeter of
the frame of the window, door, or opening.
6) The 2x4 braces on the interior and exterior of the assemblies shall be secured using 3/8"
by 12" carriage bolt assemblies. Bolts shall be inserted through the predrilled holes from
the exterior with a 1/2" washer place against the exterior brace, a 3/8" washer is placed
against the interior brace. The bolt is tightened from the inside so that it slightly
compresses the interior brace. The 2x4 Bottom Brace shall be cut to width of door trim
and drilled to the floor to prevent opening.
7) Garage Door—the opening shall be covered with plywood and secured with a minimum
of 3- inch-long deck or wood screws installed on 6-inch centers around the circumference
of the opening. An interior or exterior 2x4 Bottom Brace is required to prevent it from
opening and drilled to the floor with masonry screws (or as appropriate).
NOTE: These specifications are subject to change upon case-by-case scenario. Any
changes or recommendations shall be discussed during the walk-through of the
property prior to a proposal, quote and or notice to proceed.

The USFA National Arson Prevention Initiative Board Up Procedures is incorporated
herein by reference and are hereby accepted as Reference Specifications. These
Reference Specifications are intended to govern certain construction materials, methods,
and details with some additional modification herein.
A. Security Measures
1) All openings in the basement, crawl spaces, garages, first floor doors and windows, and
any point of entry accessible from a porch, fire escape or other potential climbing point
shall be barricaded with plywood, 2x4 braces, carriage bolt sets, specialized head/drive
screws, and nails, unless stated otherwise.
NOTE: General contractor screws, particleboard, wafer board, Masonite, or other
similar material shall NOT be used for purposes of boarding-up a building.
2) Garage Doors and Openings at least 10'from ground level which are not accessible from
a porch, fire escape, roof, or other climbing point can be secured with nails every 12"
around the perimeter. For all openings, the plywood should be fitted so that it rests snugly
against the exterior frame, butting up to the siding on wood frame buildings and up to the
brick molding edge on brick buildings. It may be necessary to remove the staff bead so
this fit can be flush and tight.
3) The structure shall be posted with a NO TRESPASSING sign at the completion of the
board-up.
4) The Commercial property with full windows or glass facades shall be blacked out and
adhesive shall be used to attach the plywood to the glass from the interior to prevent
shattering. Plywood shall be secured to the window/glass framing.
5) ONLY Interior Boarding shall require blackout of windows and be secured with plywood
and 2x4 braces fasten to the wall with deck nails and specialized star-drive head screws.
B. Materials
1) Plywood, 1/2" (4 ply) exterior grade CDX
2) Braces - 2" by 4" by 8' (or longer) construction grade lumber

and two interior 2x4 braces shall be provided for each window and three sets for each
door.
3) Window Assembly — Braces are located horizontally approximately 1/3 of the distance
from the top and the bottom of the window. Bolt holes are located 1/3 of the length of the
brace from the outside edge of the windowjams. Prior to installation, the assembly should
be pre-assembled and 3/8" holes drilled through all of the components.
4) Door Assembly—Door braces will be placed horizontally; one in the center of the doorway
and one 1/2 the distance from the center to the top and one 1/2 distance from the center
to the bottom of the doorway. Bolt holes are located 1/3 of the length of the brace from
the outside edge of the doorframe. Prior to installation, the assembly should be pre-
assembled and 3/8" holes drilled through all of the components.
5) Plywood used to cover exterior openings shall be nailed every 12" along the perimeter of
the frame of the window, door, or opening.
6) The 2x4 braces on the interior and exterior of the assemblies shall be secured using 3/8"
by 12" carriage bolt assemblies. Bolts shall be inserted through the predrilled holes from
the exterior with a 1/2" washer place against the exterior brace, a 3/8" washer is placed
against the interior brace. The bolt is tightened from the inside so that it slightly
compresses the interior brace. The 2x4 Bottom Brace shall be cut to width of door trim
and drilled to the floor to prevent opening.
7) Garage Door—the opening shall be covered with plywood and secured with a minimum
of 3- inch-long deck or wood screws installed on 6-inch centers around the circumference
of the opening. An interior or exterior 2x4 Bottom Brace is required to prevent it from
