A neglected single-family residence was rapidly deteriorating in a densely populated neighborhood with parks, churches, and Chino City Hall. There were 37 violations of dangerous conditions including hazardous electrical, mechanical, fire-safety threats, criminal activity, severe rodent infestation and harborage, and more. The property owners were deceased and a notice and order to repair or abate was issued.
Before
The City worked cooperatively with an estate probate administrator of one of the property owners to appoint a stayed court receiver to oversee the administrator’s property sale to a responsible buyer. Under court supervision, the buyer promptly rehabilitated the property and remediated all 37 violations of law documented on-site. Under a written agreement with the estate probate administrator and the buyer, the City was reimbursed for all its enforcement fees.
After
Partnering with Civica Law, the City of Chino has again turned a safety-threat property into a livable home. We are proud to work with cities and counties to keep their communities safe and property values up.
