September 9, 2020 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am

Almost every city or county has abandoned, fire damaged, or otherwise dilapidated properties. The majority of the time these properties sit abandoned and dilapidated for years with no solution in sight. However, a solution for these longstanding dilapidated properties exists under California Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) §§ 17980.6 and 17980.7.
