A copy, taken August 22, 2026. The version published by Honolulu is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
Public property may be accessible and available to residents and the public at large for its intended uses. The unauthorized use of public property for the storage of personal property interferes with the rights of other members of the public to use public property for its intended purposes and can create a public health and safety hazard that adversely affects residential and commercial areas. The purpose of this article is to maintain public areas in clean, sanitary, and accessible condition, to prevent harm to the health or safety of the public, to prevent the misappropriation of public property for personal use, and to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare by ensuring that public property remains readily accessible for its intended uses.
