ARTICLE 7 - Public Nuisances
Section 4179.

4179. Notice of the lien, particularly identifying the property on which the nuisance was abated and the amount of such lien, and naming the owner of record of such property, shall be recorded by the department in the office of the county recorder of the county in which the property is situated within one year after the first item of expenditures by the department or within 90 days after the completion of the work, whichever first occurs. Upon such recordation of the notice of lien, the lien shall have the same force, effect, and priority as a judgment lien, except that it shall attach only to the property described in such notice, and shall continue for 10 years from the time of recording of such notice unless sooner released or otherwise discharged.
