Here, we report ¹³⁹La and ⁶³Cu NMR investigation of the successive charge order, spin order, and superconducting transitions in superoxygenated La₂CuO_4+y single crystal with stage-4 excess oxygen order at T_stage≃290 K. We show that the stage-4 order induces tilting of CuO₆ octahedra below T_stage, which in turn causes ¹³⁹La NMR line broadening. The structural distortion continues to develop far below Tstage, and completes at T_charge≃60 K, where charge order sets in. This sequence is reminiscent of the the charge-order transition in Nd codoped La_1.88Sr_0.12CuO₄ that sets in once the low-temperature tetragonal phase is established. We also show that the paramagnetic ⁶³Cu NMR signals are progressively wiped out below T_charge due to enhanced low-frequency spin fluctuations in charge-ordered domains, but the residual ⁶³Cu NMR signals continue to exhibit the characteristics expected for optimally doped superconducting CuO₂ planes. This indicates that charge order in La₂CuO_4+y does not take place uniformly in space. In addition, unlike the typical second-order magnetic phase transitions, low-frequency Cu spin fluctuations as probed by ¹³⁹La nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate do not exhibit critical divergence at T_spin(≃T_c) =42 K. These findings, including the spatially inhomogeneous nature of the charge-ordered state, are qualitatively similar to the case of La_1.885Sr_0.115CuO₄, but both charge and spin order take place more sharply in the present case.
