Cal. Civ. Code § 32-30-8-4
Actions to abate nuisance; persons authorized to initiate
Operative Text
Sec. 4. An action to abate a nuisance under this chapter may be initiated by any of the following: (1) The prosecuting attorney of the circuit where the nuisance is located. (2) The corporation counsel or city attorney of a city in which a nuisance is located. (3) An attorney representing a county in which a nuisance is located. (4) The property owner. (5) The attorney general.
Indiana Code § 32-30-8-4 identifies who is legally permitted to bring a court action to abate—meaning stop or eliminate—a nuisance under this chapter. The list includes public officials such as the prosecuting attorney, city attorney, corporation counsel, county attorney, and the state attorney general, as well as the property owner. This provision does not itself define what constitutes a nuisance; it simply establishes the authorized parties who may initiate such legal proceedings.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 32-30-8-4, property owners are explicitly listed among those who may initiate a nuisance abatement action, meaning an owner has standing to bring a legal claim to address nuisance conditions affecting their property. Operators who become aware of nuisance activity on or near their property may consult with legal counsel to understand whether initiating such an action is appropriate. Documenting nuisance conditions and communications with relevant parties is a practice commonly associated with maintaining a well-managed property.

Ind. Code § 32-30-8-4 outlines who can bring a formal nuisance abatement action, and while tenants are not listed as authorized initiators, the provision does not prevent tenants from seeking relief through other channels. Tenants who believe a nuisance condition exists may contact local public officials—such as the prosecuting attorney or city attorney—who are authorized under this section to initiate abatement proceedings. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help explain what options may be available when nuisance conditions affect habitability.
