Any mortgagee who holds a mortgage on real property located within the City shall perform an inspection of the property that is the security for the mortgage, upon default by the mortgagor, prior to the issuance of a Notice of Default.

If the property is found to be vacant or shows evidence of vacancy, it shall be deemed abandoned and the mortgagee shall, within 10 days of the inspection, register the property with the Director of Sustainable Development.

This program is a mechanism to protect residential neighborhoods from becoming blighted through the lack of adequate maintenance and security of abandoned properties.

A fee in the amount of $150.00, per property, shall accompany the registration form(s).

An annual registration form and fee is required for each vacant property.
