Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

The city(Palmdale) has been pestering me about my yard. I have no grass, no trees, and I just got a substandard property notice posted on my house. They ( the city) expect me to perform all this work while not working. Also I was threatened with a $1000+ fine or 6 months in jail. What can I do?

My experience (limited) with municipal code enforcers is that they are rigid and unsympathetic. Maybe there is a way you can come into compliance without spending a bundle. Your question didn't say what they expect. Planting grass and a small tree could perhaps be done for under $100 and your own labor since you are not currently employed.
