Testimonials
“Since the receiver has taken possession of the property and begun repairs, crime and calls for service have dropped dramatically. Prior to the receiver's appointment, it was not unusual for there to be 3-4 calls for service per day, while now a call for service at the property is a rare event.”

“I met the California receivership folks in court. I hadn't even a clue that there was such an organization. Within three weeks I believe we had some action, and I was very pleased with just the sense of relief knowing that those trees were going to come down. I think our neighbor was treated with the utmost respect. I'm really glad that there is a group that can help with neighbors’ properties that fall into disarray. It's been very relaxing, very smooth. I can sleep at night. And it's just nice to know that our neighbor is okay, that his property is now maintained. We don't want anybody's property to go into disarray, much less the person. That's the kind of neighborhood we are.”

“We truly appreciate your diligent efforts to help our community get through this process and finally see this property demolished. I can't tell you enough how grateful we are, it's been such a breath of fresh air ever since the property has been vacated. Our quality of life has improved, and we hope that it continues that way.”

“They did a great job. I know it’s kind of a stretch, but they've changed our life. Waking up in the morning and looking over at what they've done to this house, we're completely blown away. In three months they completely changed the entire view of this block. It's amazing.”

“We want to utilize the receivership program to abate properties because it has cost the city thousands of dollars abating the properties ourselves and placing liens on the properties waiting for the property to sell.”
