N. Las Vegas, Nev., Code of Ordinances § 8.80 (2026) § 8.80.030
Abatement of Chronic Nuisance (North Las Vegas Chronic Nuisance Ordinance)
Operative Text
Upon the discovery of two or more nuisance activities existing on a property, the enforcement officer or an authorized agent, pursuant to Section 8.75.030 herein, shall send to the owner of the property a written notice of the existence on the property of the nuisance activities. The notice shall be entitled "Notice and Declaration of Chronic Nuisance" and contain: A. The street address, parcel number and/or legal description sufficient for identification of the property upon which the chronic nuisance is located. B. A description of the conditions or activities, which constitute the chronic nuisance. C. The date by which the abatement must occur to prevent the matter from being submitted to the City Attorney for legal action. D. Notice of the opportunity for a hearing before North Las Vegas Municipal or Justice Court, as appropriate, and the procedures therefor.
North Las Vegas Code § 8.80.030 establishes a formal notice process that is triggered when an enforcement officer identifies two or more nuisance activities on a single property. The property owner must receive a written "Notice and Declaration of Chronic Nuisance" that identifies the property, describes the problematic conditions, sets a deadline for correcting them, and informs the owner of the right to a hearing. If the owner does not address the nuisance by the stated deadline, the matter may be referred to the City Attorney for legal action.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 8.80.030, a compliant property owner who receives a Notice and Declaration of Chronic Nuisance takes note of the specific conditions described, the abatement deadline, and the hearing procedures outlined in the notice. Operators generally document their remediation steps and address each identified nuisance activity before the stated deadline to avoid referral to the City Attorney. Keeping records of corrective actions taken in response to the notice is a common practice among property managers dealing with chronic nuisance proceedings.

Section § 8.80.030 is primarily directed at property owners, but tenants living on a property subject to a chronic nuisance declaration may be affected by the abatement process and any resulting legal action. Tenants have a general right to understand what conditions have been flagged and what timeline is in play, since the notice must describe the specific activities constituting the nuisance. Those with concerns about how a chronic nuisance proceeding may affect their housing situation can consult a tenant-rights organization or review the hearing procedures referenced in the notice itself.
