Neighbor on Richardson house: “pretty disheveled”

If you want to see the inside of the Sacramento house purchased by Rep. Laura Richardson in 2007 (pictured), this video takes you inside. The video also quotes an angry neighbor who says the house became ‘pretty disheveled’ under Richardson’s brief ownership.

Does she still own the house? Did it fall into foreclosure? Richardson’s one public statement on the matter indicates there was no foreclosure and she still owns the house and is making payments on it. Public records and three published interviews with an investor named James York, however, indicate otherwise. ‘It was a foreclosure auction. I took possession of the house as of May 7,’ York told Capitol Weekly, the Sacramento publication that broke the story.

Richardson’s chief of staff, Kimberly Parker, told L.A. Land the Long Beach Democrat would have nothing to say about the matter today, and will issue a second statement about the property on Friday. Perhaps that will clear things up.
