Under Cal. Gov't Code § 38773.5, in any action, administrative proceeding, or special proceeding brought to abate a public nuisance, the prevailing part will be entitled to recover attorneys' fees, provided that attorneys' fees will only be available in those actions or proceedings in which the city has provided notice at the commencement of such action or proceeding that it intends to seek and recover its own attorneys' fees. In no action or proceeding shall an award of attorneys' fees exceed the amount of reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the city in the action or proceeding.
