About Mark Adams

During the last 25 years, Mark Adams, President of California Receivership Group (CRG), has been at the forefront of using health and safety receivership to remediate nuisance conditions at slum properties, abandoned properties, and various other types of dilapidated properties in California. He remains the most experienced health and safety receiver working in the state. Adams has been appointed as receiver by 179 different state and federal judges to rehabilitate more than 360 properties in 36 counties and 126 cities. Adams is branching out to other states, including Tennessee, Virginia, Texas, and Wisconsin.

A receivership, under the Health and Safety Code, is the most effective solution when traditional code enforcement agency tools have failed to correct the problem. A receivership resolves the financial and physical aspects of the nuisance abatement problem at no cost to taxpayers. In receivership, the property itself pays its own repair cost. This is possible by utilizing the courts’ statutory authority and equitable discretion.

Adams deals with various health and safety issues at various distressed properties, including homes, hotels, apartment buildings, and commercial properties. His areas of expertise include remediation of problems related to unpermitted construction; fire, hillside stability, and seismic damage; rampant crime and repeated calls for service; abandoned and unsecured structures; unsafe but inhabited buildings and relocation of occupants; accumulation of junk and debris, including hoarding situations; hazmat abatement, pest infestation, asbestos, and mold; structural inadequacy or complete failure; properties without heat, electricity, and running water – and many more.
