in which the plaintiff trust deed holder prevailed in an inverse condemnation action after a city demolished a substandard apartment building. Prior to the time the plaintiff had acquired its interest in the property, the city had determined the building was a public nuisance and served all then interested parties with a notice of hearing that included an order that the owner demolish or rehabilitate the building. This notice was not recorded, and repairs made to the property were insufficient. The following year, the city was made aware that a change in ownership had occurred and that the plaintiff had acquired an interest in the property. Despite this knowledge, the city did not send the plaintiff a 10-day notice of intent to demolish the building, and the notice it did provide did not reach the plaintiff until the day before (or the day of) the demolition. 9
