Title 3 - PRIVATE NUISANCES

California Civil Code — §§ 3501-3503

Sections (3)

The remedies against a private nuisance are:

1. A civil action; or,

2. Abatement.

A person injured by a private nuisance may abate it by removing, or, if necessary, destroying the thing which constitutes the nuisance, without committing a breach of the peace, or doing unnecessary injury.

Where a private nuisance results from a mere omission of the wrongdoer, and cannot be abated without entering upon his land, reasonable notice must be given to him before entering to abate it.
