The enforcement of the Alhambra Municipal Code is vital to the protection of the public’s health, safety, and quality of life. Under Cal. Gov’t Code § 53069.4, the city is authorized to adopt an administrative citation process, which process offers an alternative method of enforcing code violations. This chapter provides for administrative citation remedies, which are in addition to all other legal remedies, criminal or civil, which may be pursued by the city to address any violation of this code, including any codes adopted by reference, or other public nuisance. This chapter establishes an administrative citation process and monetary penalties to encourage and expedite compliance with the provisions of the code. The use of this chapter is also intended to minimize the expense and delay associated with pursuing code violations through the civil or criminal justice system.
