Two decades ago Mark Adams established California Receivership Group to be a turn-key solution to remediating dangerous nuisance properties through health and safety receivership
SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Californer -- California Receivership Group celebrated its twentieth-anniversary on August 2nd, 2019. On that date in 1999, a judge signed an order appointing Receiver Mark Adams to address code violations at a 66-unit apartment complex in Los Angeles. Although receivership was an available remedy, listed in the State of California's Health and Safety Code to address substandard properties, this marked the first time it was used to tackle a nuisance abatement issue.
On learning of the receivership remedy from a local college professor in the early 90s, Mark Adams, founder of CRG, felt that this was the answer for nuisance properties where no other code enforcement strategies had been successful. Since their first appointment, California Receivership Group and Mark Adams have become the most experienced health and safety receiver in the state, working on over 220 projects in over 100 cities and over 30 counties throughout California. CRG has mentored or trained many of the other receivers operating in this field.

CRG's first appointment came in the wake of a tragic death: a baby had caught a respiratory infection after living in a severely dilapidated apartment building. The infection was likely due to the deplorable conditions onsite, which included leaking plumbing and a carpet that struggled to stay dry. Her passing mobilized a coalition of organizations, including local law students and one of LA's premier law firms, to act to have the dangerous Health and Safety Code violations addressed. The owner to this point had ignored code enforcement efforts to fix scores of issues; in addition to plumbing problems, the building had a broken elevator, rat and roach infestations, and an inoperable fire alarm system.
CRG's first project was not easy, and they encountered multiple setbacks. The most pressing was the inability to find a financial institution willing to fund a Receiver's Certificate to finance the emergency work needed onsite. In response to this challenge, CRG developed a financing plan that they've used on almost every project since. So far they've funded over $40 million in abatement work with no loss to their lenders to date.

Through health and safety receivership, CRG was able to ensure that the property was completely rehabilitated without displacing the tenants, and they enacted a plan for long-term maintenance of the property before they were discharged and the case came to a close.
