A Chino residence with severe health hazards and countless safety violations was discovered when the property owner passed. Chino police officers and code enforcement officers were called to the property to discover animals living on the property without food and the following violations:
- Deteriorating wood throughout the structure
- Unfinished drywalls and exaggerated chipped paint
- Overgrown vegetation in front and rear yard
- Rodent infestation in overgrown vegetation
- Presumed plumbing issues
- Excessive hoarding issues such as trash, junk, and debris
- Unsanitary indoor and outdoor conditions such as dog and rodent feces
- Improper vehicle storage
Before
Civica Law assisted the City with initial contact to the property owner’s next of kin. When there was no response from them, Civica Law reached out to the property owner’s nephew. He would become the interested party and entered into a compliance agreement with deadlines to rehabilitate the property. The interested party experienced obstacles during the probate and title of the estate processes, so Civica Law was happy to assist.
After
“This property was a top priority for our team due to the deceased owner’s sensitive situation and the health and public safety issues to neighbors. Our team quickly and effectively worked with the City to find an interested party to renew the property and gain full compliance.”
Results
Within a timely schedule, the property was remediated, and full compliance was achieved. Civica Law is proud to contribute to the safety of communities with a personal approach. Civica Law was able to efficiently bring this Chino residence, once orphan property, up to code.
