|
312
|
+
services. For reasons of fire safety and for neighborhood appearance, fences in
|
313
|
+
front yards are limited to a height of three and a half feet, which is the same
|
314
|
+
or six inches higher than fences allowed in many nearby cities in the Bay Area.
|
315
|
+
Fencing in the back and along the sides of a house can be much taller. Visit the

316
|
+
Planning and Building Department''s [Permit information page][1] for more information.
|
317
|
+
Although it is best to solve neighborhood issues in local groups and neighborhood
|
318
|
+
associations, complaints can be sent to building services and these may result
|
319
|
+
in fines for alternations without permits or variances. To file a Code Enforcement

320
|

complaint, call (510) 238-3381 or visit the [City Code Enforcement][2] page. [1]:

content_main: "**Times when you DON'T need an event permit** If you are having a
|
543
|
+
party **on you own property** (whether it's inside or outside, whether you rent
|
544
|
+
or own) you don't need a permit to play amplified music or serve alcohol. ----------
|
545
|
+
**Times when you WILL need an event permit** There are times when you will need
|
546
|
+
a **special permit** to hold an event. Conditions that require a special event
|
547
|
+
permit include: - an event that is open to the public with 50 or more people will
|
548
|
+
be in attendance - events that require street closures (e.g. a block party) -
|
549
|
+
a party where people will be drinking alcohol outside of private property - a
|
550
|
+
party with amplified sound that can be heard beyond your own property ----------
|
551
|
+
**How to get the permits you need** If you think your party meets the qualifications
|
552
|
+
above then you will need **at least one permit from the City, maybe more.** Almost
|
553
|
+
**all** events require a permit from the Special Activities unit of the City Administrator's
|
554
|
+
Office. In most (not all) cases, you are going to need to prove that you have
|
555
|
+
liability insurance for your proposed event. You can apply for a permit by contacting
|
556
|
+
either of the following staff people: - Nancy Marcus - 510-238-3294 - nmarcus@oaklandnet.com
|
557
|
+
- Jasmine Chan - 510-238-6914 - jchan@oaklandnet.com If your party is going to
|
558
|
+
require a **street closure** then you must you must file an application with the
|
559
|
+
Special Event Unit of the Oakland Police Department. Be sure to file the application
|
560
|
+
with OPD **at least 30 days prior to your event**. To hold a party in a public
|
561
|
+
space (e.g. a City park) you will need to request a reservation with the Office
|
562

+
of Parks and Recreation by phone at 510-238-3187 or by email at oprscheduling@oaklandnet.com. "

1618
|

many Oakland retail locations, including supermarkets, drug stores, senior centers
|
1619
|
+
and news stands. Search for your nearest retail location using your Zip code at

1620
|
+
[AC Transit's retail locations finder](http://www.actransit.org/rider-info/where-to-buy-a-pass/).
|
1621
|

Passes can be purchased by mail using the [AC Transit order form](http://www.actransit.org/wp-content/uploads/Ticket_-Order_Form-8.2011.pdf).
|
1622
|
+
All AC Transit vehicles accept payments using [Clipper Card](http://www.actransit.org/rider-info/why-clipper/),
|
1623
|
+
the Bay Area’s reloadable card for paying transit fares. A Clipper card keeps
|
1624
|
+
track of the value on it and automatically deducts the right fare, including transfers
|
1625
|
+
and discounts. You can load an AC Transit pass onto a Clipper card, a pass from
|
1626
|
+
another agency, or cash value."

|
2315
|
+
tenant may be evicted for failing to pay rent. ◦ A tenant may be evicted for
|
2316
|
+
violating the lease. ◦ A tenant may be evicted for using the rental unit for
|
2317
|
+
an unlawful purpose. ◦ A tenant may be evicted for manufacturing or dealing illegal
|
2318
|
+
drugs in the rental unit. ◦ A tenant may be evicted for the unlawful use of a
|
2319
|
+
weapon or ammunition. ◦ A tenant may be evicted for materially damaging the rental
|
2320
|
+
unit. ◦ A tenant may be evicted for causing a significant nuisance to other tenants.
|
2321
|
+
**Serve the tenant with a 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit form.** ◦ Take the
|
2322
|
+
completed form to the tenant and hand it to him or her. If he or she refuses to
|
2323
|
+
take it, leave it on the ground near the tenant. ◦ If you are unable to serve
|
2324
|
+
it directly to the tenant, leave it with someone who is at least 18 years old
|
2325
|
+
at the rental unit or with an adult at the tenant's place of work. A copy must
|
2326
|
+
also be mailed to the tenant in this situation. ◦ If unable to serve the form
|
2327
|
+
directly to another person, post it on the tenant's door and mail a copy of the
|
2328
|
+
form to him or her. **Allow the tenant 3 business days (Monday to Friday) after
|
2329
|
+
delivering the notice to remedy the situation.** ◦ The 3-day period begins the
|
2330
|
+
day after the notice is served. **File an Unlawful Detainer Complaint, a Civil
|
2331
|
+
Case Cover Sheet, and a Pre-judgment Right of Possession form.** ◦ The Unlawful
|
2332
|
+
Detainer Complaint can be found at the following URL: http://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/ud100.pdf.
|
2333
|
+
This is an eviction notice. ◦ The Civil Case Cover Sheet can be found at the
|
2334
|
+
following URL: http://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/cm010.pdf ◦ Submit the paperwork
|
2335
|
+
to the courthouse in the county that the property is in. ◦ The County Clerk will
|
2336
|
+
give you a Summons and a stamped copy of the Unlawful Detainer Complaint. Make
|
2337
|
+
sure you also receive the Pre-judgment Right of Possession form. In some cases,
|
2338
|
+
you must provide multiple copies for the Clerk to stamp. **Serve the tenant with
|
2339
|
+
the Unlawful Detainer Complaint, the Summons, and the Pre-judgment Right of Possession
|
2340
|
+
form.** ◦ Serve these in the same way as you served the 3-day Notice to Pay Rent
|
2341
|
+
or Quit form. ◦ The tenant will have 5 days to file a response with you and the
|
2342
|
+
court. Post and mail the tenant has 10 days to respond, after the 10 days start
|
2343
|
+
counting the 5 days, if no response file for judgement. **Complete the court process.**
|
2344
|
+
◦ If the tenant does not answer within 5 days after being served, request a default
|
2345
|
+
judgment from the court. This can be done by submitting a following form to the
|
2346
|
+
court. ◦ If a default judgment is issued, you will be given a Writ of Possession.
|
2347
|
+
Take this form to the local Sheriff and have him or her evict the tenant. ◦ If
|
2348
|
+
the tenant decides to challenge the eviction, you or the tenant may request a
|
2349
|
+
trial in front of a judge or jury. The trial will occur within 21 days of the
|
2350
|
+
request. ◦ If you win the case, you will be awarded possession of the property
|
2351
|
+
and possibly monetary awards. ◦ If you win the case, the court will order the
|
2352
|
+
Sheriff to post a notice giving the tenant 5 days to vacate the rental unit. If
|
2353
|
+
the tenant does not leave, the Sheriff will forcibly remove him or her. ◦ If the
|
2354
|
+
tenant wins the case, he or she will be permitted to remain in the rental unit.
|
2355
|
+
You may have to pay his or her court fees and he or she may be ordered to pay
|
2356
|
+
any past-due rent. **Store the tenant's items for 2 weeks if he or she is evicted.**
|
2357
|
+
◦ If the tenant leaves items behind, you must store them for 2 weeks and attempt
|
2358
|
+
to arrange for the tenant to retrieve them. ◦ If anything remains after this
|
2359
|
+
period, you may keep, sell, or dispose of the items. More info: http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/landlordbook/index.shtml
