New developments in Ocean View Hills hoarder home case

The homeowner, Lisa Golden, wants a judge to personally visit her home and inspect it.

SAN DIEGO — An Ocean View Hills homeowner accused of owning a "hoarder" home, repeatedly asked a judge Thursday to visit her house and inspect it.

A nearly 40-minute hearing in civil court was held with the property owner, Lisa Golden, Deputy City Attorney David Miller, and Court-Appointed Receiver Neil Sheaffer.

Golden continued to insist the receiver damaged her home and stole her property back when they went in to professionally clean her home the first time in 2021.  

Judge Richard Whitney told her she did not provide any proof of that. He said if she wants to provide an extremely itemized list of everything that was taken or damaged and proof the receiver was responsible, he would consider it.

Golden is representing herself in this case.

Inspectors went into her home in March and took photos that showed deplorable conditions. Trash and boxes piled high. One of the inspectors said words couldn't adequately describe the master toilet.

The judge ordered the receiver to return to the home and clean it again.  According to the receiver, when the work begins, Golden will not be allowed to be inside the home from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The price tag to address the violations is $23,000. However, the total cost Golden is on the hook for is more than $220,000, and that includes a previously authorized lien of $132,783. 

Golden will also be required to pay attorney fees from the city of more than $130,000.

A date has not yet been set for when the contractors can start getting to work on Golden's house.

The judge said he is open to the idea of inspecting her home. If he agrees to it, that visit wouldn't take place until late this summer.
