Richardson "Red" Griswold routinely takes control of dilapidated, abandoned and/or nuisance properties and oversees the management, rehabilitation and/or court-authorized sale of these properties which include apartments, houses, motels, commercial buildings and vacant land. Most frequently, Mr. Griswold is appointed as a receiver pursuant to California Health & Safety Code section 17980.7, et seq. The moving party is typically a municipality who has filed a lawsuit against a property owner for violating pertinent health & safety, housing, building, municipal and/or zoning codes or regulations. The municipality seeks the appointment of a health & safety receiver to take control of the property and oversee its rehabilitation.
