For more than 15 years, the property has been in an extremely unsafe and unsanitary condition that endangers its occupants and neighbors. In August 1989, the City of Santa Monica (the City) filed a civil nuisance lawsuit against Gonzalez, alleging violations of the uniform building, fire, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical codes. The City obtained a default judgment requiring Gonzalez to demolish certain structures built without permits. The judgment authorized the City to do the demolition work itself if Gonzalez did not do so within 45 days. In January 1991, the City did the demolition work at a cost of $21,939.93. The City recorded a lien against the property and recovered that cost when Gonzalez refinanced the property.
