Litigation

Abbit v. City of San Diego, et al.

Dec 07, 2010

OUTCOME: mid-seven-figure settlement

After the City of San Diego took over operation of the De Anza Cove mobilehome park in Mission Bay in 2003, the City and its hand-picked management and security companies embarked on a series of tactic ... s designed to coerce residents into leaving the park before receiving the relocation benefits the City owes them. We represented 250 individual residents and sued the City, its former management company, and its armed security company for the way they ran De Anza Cove and the things they began doing to residents, like tearing down the park’s storage areas, market, playground, and laundry facilities, taking out all the furniture and amenities from the common areas, passing unlawful park rules, towing vehicles without proper notice, and installing klieg lights, barbed wire fencing, and a guard shack at the entrance. The oppressive environment this created drove many residents out of the park.
