Receivership Remedy: Securing Vacant Properties
November 20, 2018
Health & Safety Receiverships are an effective tool to restore vacant properties. There are many vacant residential and industrial properties across California that are half-built or abandoned with no useful purpose. These vacant properties are not only an eyesore for the surrounding community but also pose a threat to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood. The existence of a vacant property boosts crime and vandalism, contributes to neighborhood decline, negatively affects surrounding property values, creates a public nuisance and requires costly code and police enforcement. A vacant residential property may become a haven for criminal conduct and a vacant industrial site may become an illicit dump. When a vacant property is left unsecured, resourceful trespassers can easily take over the property which can lead to an increase in fires and crime. Vermin also make their home in the vacant space and spread throughout the neighborhood. A court-appointed Receiver can be a remedy for these vacant properties.
Relocating Occupants During Rehabilitation
November 13, 2018
Health and Safety Receiverships are an extremely valuable remedy to alleviate blight and to restore problematic properties within a community or neighborhood. A Health and Safety Receiver is a neutral third-party appointed by the court to take temporary control over substandard properties with the intent of resolving any potential health and safety threats. A Receiver is responsible for repairs and restoration to the property and to ensure that the property is transformed back into a safe and habitable dwelling. Health and Safety Receiverships can successfully rehabilitate distressed properties when the home owner is unable to remedy the code violations on his or her own. Health and Safety Receiverships are a very effective solution to bring a property into compliance with building and housing codes while also providing residents a safe place to stay while the rehab project is underway.
Receivership Remedy for Fire Damaged Properties
October 22, 2018
Health and Safety Receiverships are utilized for a wide arrange of distressed properties, including fire damaged properties. Fires may ignite outside or inside a property for a number of different reasons. Natural wildfires, electrical hazards, smoking and candles, just to name a few. Sometimes the conditions on the property are already so severe (i.e. hoarding, ill-maintained structures, faulty wiring) that the conditions themselves cause a fire. Other times, a perfectly suited property becomes badly damaged by the flames, heat, smoke and water after a fire. Fire damage causes properties to become structurally unsound and compromised and at a risk of collapsing, making it dangerous for anyone to be onsite. Firefighters may have cut holes in walls looking for hidden flames or may have cut holes in the roof to release heat and smoke. Fires often re-ignite even after appearing to be extinguished. Hazardous materials and structural damage pose serious threats to the health and safety of the occupants and surrounding community.
Health and Safety Receivership Remedy to Protect the Neighborhood
October 16, 2018
A Health and Safety Receivership is a legal remedy to combat neighborhood blight and transform problematic properties back into safe and habitable structures. A house or building within a community may be deteriorating due to various reasons ranging from severe hoarding, contaminated or unsafe living environments, or owner abandonment. Deteriorating properties are usually produced because no responsible party is willing or able to address the problems on the property. Whether due to an uncooperative property owner, quarreling heirs, disputes regarding title, or an owner that cannot be located, the structure or dwelling is poorly maintained making it an eyesore and hazard to the community. When a property is in severe disrepair and a danger to its tenants or neighboring residents, the property will affect the entire neighborhood.
California Health & Safety Receiverships: Teamwork with Law Enforcement/Fire Departments
September 24, 2018
Health and Safety Receiverships come in many shapes and sizes. Health and Safety Receiverships are implemented for distressed properties which include packrat/hoarding properties, substandard motels or apartments, fire damaged properties, illegal construction or habitation, drug/slum houses, and deceased owner or abandoned properties. Properties subject to Health and Safety Receiverships are often referred to the City by local fire departments or law enforcement who are routinely called to these properties. A Health and Safety Receiver can be appointed by the Court to remedy health and safety hazards of substandard properties which have been neglected by property owners. A Court-Appointed Health and Safety Receiver will determine the proper course of action on a case by case (property by property) basis and will follow established policies, procedures and guidelines for each specific property or situation. A Receiver is responsible for general repairs and maintenance for the property and for ensuring that the property is brought into compliance with State and local laws.
Health and Safety Receivership actions often deal with homeowners who are packrats/hoarders, elderly, or mentally/physically disabled. These types of homeowners may not be able to properly maintain and care for their house, which leads to loss of control of the property and the commencing of a receivership action. A Court-Appointed Health and Safety Receiver is temporarily appointed by the court to address the health and safety concerns of substandard properties that have been neglected by property owners. A Health and Safety Receivership can successfully rehabilitate distressed properties when the homeowner is unwilling or unable to remedy code violations themselves.
