Griswold Receivers

The Griswold Receivers Team handles receivership cases throughout the region. We specialize in health and safety, rents and profits, post-judgment, tenant habitability, and partition matters. Our firm has been appointed over 265 times by courts across the region. Mr. Griswold routinely takes control of dilapidated, abandoned and/or nuisance properties and oversees the management, rehabilitation and/or court-authorized sale of these properties. These properties include but are not limited to, apartments, houses, motels and commercial buildings. 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.
