Case No. CU26-05820
Petition for Order to Abate Substandard Building and Appoint Receiver
Petitioner CITY OF BENICIA seeks an order declaring the property at 75 Buena Vista Street, Benicia, California 94510 substandard and appointing a receiver to abate the nuisance.
Petitioner has met all statutory notice requirements for this petition in light of its additional filings from August 10 and 12, 2026 detailing its efforts to contract Respondent in Montana and service of the petition on her out-of-state addresses by first-class mail. Petitioner presents sufficient evidence of the property’s violation of numerous building standard regulations and ordinances. The property owner and potential heirs and other interested persons have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to correct the property’s nuisance conditions and has not shown ability or will to do so.
The court is inclined to grant the petition; however, Petitioner is to appear and offer additional information to the court as to why it has selected a receiver based in Southern California, as the court requested at the July 21, 2026 hearing on this petition. The court additionally notes that the requested bond amount of $10,000 appears low for the proposed receivership.
