Whether viewed separately or together, the terms of section 17980.6 and section 17980.7 do not require the notice to repair to inform the property owner that receivership is a potential consequence of failure to correct or abate the identified violations. Section 17980.6 authorizes an enforcement agency to issue a notice to repair, but it makes no specific reference to receivers or receivership proceedings, or to any of the other judicial remedies made available in section 17980.7. Section 17980.7, on the other hand, expressly authorizes an enforcement agency and others to seek a receivership when an owner fails to comply with a section 17980.6 notice to repair, but the notice it requires is simply notice that the receivership petition was served on all persons with a recorded interest in the property at least three days before the petition was filed. (§ 17980.7(c).) Thus, while Gonzalez was statutorily entitled to notice that failure to correct the substandard condition of his property might result in the appointment of a receiver, the City duly afforded that notice when it served Gonzalez in accordance with section 17980.7(c). 5 2.
