Before the court is the continued hearing on the petition for order to abate substandard building and appointment of a receiver filed by petitioner City of Placentia (Petitioner) against respondent Barry Rae, Solely in his Capacity as The Special Administrator of the Estate of Lynn D. Ford (Respondent).
On October 22, 2025, the parties filed a Compliance Stipulation and Order to Continue Hearing on Receivership Petition, which was approved by the court (Stipulated Order). Pursuant to the Stipulated Order, Respondent agreed to rehabilitate the subject property and bring it into full compliance, and the parties agreed to continue the hearing on the petition. (ROA 25.)
The court has reviewed the most recent declarations filed by the parties, including the Declaration of Code Enforcement Supervisor Daniel Pivaroff, filed and July 10, 2026, and the Declaration of Barry Rae filed on July 16, 2026. The City continues to express its concern that progress on the property has been slow. Respondent identified specific improvements that have been made to the interior and exterior of the property, and identified items left to be completed. Respondent explains that delays were due to scheduling issues and shortages in the construction industry.
Counsel for all parties are ordered to appear for the hearing to further discuss the progress on the rehabilitation of the property and whether more time is warranted or whether it is appropriate to appoint a receive to finish the rehabilitation work. Remote appearances are acceptable.
