City’s Satisfaction of Procedural Prerequisites for Relief Sought in Receivership Action 16. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) sections 17980 and 17980.6, on September 2, 2025, the City issued a Notice and Order to Repair or Abate (“N&O”) to Defendant Owners and all interested parties with a recorded interest in the Subject Property (and additional potentially interested parties) citing 274 violations of law on the Subject Property and ordering all violations on the Subject Property to be corrected or abated within 30 days, which was October 2, 2025 (“Compliance Deadline”). 17. The N&O detailed all identified violations, described the dangers attendant to each violation, and indicated what steps needed to be taken to correct each violation. The N&O also noted that failure to comply prior to the Compliance Deadline would potentially result in further legal action, including the appointment of a court receiver. 18. The N&O was mailed to the Defendant Owners and all interested parties with a recorded interest in the Subject Property via first class mail and certified mail, return receipt requested, and also posted on the Subject Property on September 2, 2025. 19. On September 8, 2025, the City recorded the N&O on title to the Subject Property via a Notice of Pendency of Nuisance Abatement Action (“NoP”) to give further notice to all interested parties of the City’s enforcement efforts regarding the Subject Property, as well as the violations present thereon. A true and correct copy of the NoP with the N&O is attached as Exhibit 11 to the Appendix of Exhibits and is incorporated herein. 20. After Defendant Owners and all other interested parties failed to comply with the N&O, the – 5 of 10 – DECLARATION OF ATTORNEY SEAN E. MORRISSEY 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 CIV I C A LAW GRO U P , AP C City filed its Complaint on October 16, 2025, seeking, among other relief, an order appointing a court receiver to take possession and control of the Subject Property to abate the substantially dangerous and substandard conditions present thereon pursuant to HSC section 17980.7, subdivision (c). 21. Prior to filing the Action, the City provided Defendant Owners and other interested parties the required three days’ advanced notice (“3-Day Notice”) of the City’s intent to file this Action. Pursuant to the HSC section 17980.7, subdivision (c), on October 3, 2025, the City served the 3-Day Notice by first class mail and by posting it on the Subject Property. True and correct copies of photos of the posting the 3-Day Notice at the Subject Property are attached as Exhibit 12 with the photos taken of the Subject Property on that day to the Appendix of Exhibits and are incorporated herein. True and correct copies of the 3-Day Notice and Proofs of Service are attached as Exhibit 13 to the Appendix of Exhibits and are incorporated herein. 22. Despite having been provided more than a reasonable time and adequate opportunity to rehabilitate the Subject Property––over 185 days since the N&O was issued and well over four years since code enforcement efforts began––Defendant Owners and any other interested party have failed to fully rehabilitate the Subject Property and bring it into compliance with State and local laws. 23. As such, the City has no other viable option and is therefore forced to seek receivership relief to halt the substantial dangers on the Subject Property as detailed in the concurrently filed Declarations of Code Enforcement Supervisor John Mezzapesa, Building Inspector Trevor Nelson, and Fire Marshall Josh Daniel. 24. The City has complied with the procedural prerequisites for the appointment of a receiver over the Subject Property. Defendant Owners were issued the N&O in accordance with HSC section 17980.6, and the City afforded Defendant Owners reasonable time to rehabilitate the Subject Property pursuant to HSC section 17980, subdivision (a), and 17980.7. Defaulted Defendants 25. The following Defendants failed to file a response to the City’s Complaint and Default has been entered against them: All Wall Systems, Inc; Blue Steel Concrete, LLC; Empire Electrical Solutions, Inc.; G W Surfaces; LW Construction, Inc.; the Sherwin-Williams Company; and, United Rentals (North America) Inc.

True and correct copies of the Entries of Dismissal are attached as Exhibit 18 to the Appendix of Exhibits and are incorporated herein. Ex Parte Notice 27. On March 9, 2026, I provided notice of the City’s Ex Parte Receivership Application hearing (“Notice of Hearing”) via email to all Defendants who have not had default entered against them or who have not been dismissed at 2:11 p.m., in advance to the hearing set for March 12, 2026. The Notice of Hearing provided with specificity the nature of the relief to be requested and the date, time, and place for the presentation of the City’s Ex Parte Receivership Application and also sought to determine whether any Defendants will appear and/or oppose the Ex Parte Receivership Application pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 3.1204(a). Although, as of my signing of this Declaration, I am unaware which, if any, Defendants will appear or contest the matter. A true and correct copy of the March 9, 2026, Ex Parte Notice is attached as Exhibit 16 to the Appendix of Exhibits and is incorporated herein. 28. No notice is required or has been given to the Dismissed Defendants: American Riviera Bank (dismissed 12/10/2026); Coast Engineering and Design Inc.

Before filing the present Receivership Application, our offices confirmed with the San Luis Obispo County Superior Court that Department 4 is currently setting hearings in August 2026 for regularly noticed motions, which is over four (4) months away. Given the immediate dangers to the community, including neighbors and first responders, that the Subject Property poses as detailed extensively in the concurrently filed declarations of Code Enforcement Supervisor John Mezzapesa and Building Inspector Trevor Nelson, the City and its community stand to suffer immediate and irreparable risk of danger from the red tagged and condemned Subject Property with incomplete or lacking fire safety requirements, systems, and safeguards, and many dangerous, substandard, and hazardous conditions caused by Defendant Owners’ pattern of unpermitted construction, unauthorized occupancy, and building activity that compromises public safety. 31. The City provided more than two days’ notice of this Receivership Application in an abundance of caution as detailed below. 32. The known contact information for each of the Defendants is: a.
