Small city and we currently have (8) vacant semi-trashed, weeds in yard houses. Owners have walked away in the middle of the foreclosure process. Legally; the vacant owner is still responsible for the property until the foreclosure is complete which currently is several months.
Our current plan is to write violation notice and file notice to title so when either bank or new owner takes deed the violation notice will be in place. We do not intend to apply any fines at this time.
Apparently some cities are using this as a revenue stream by writing violation and applying daily fine. Before foreclosure is complete the city files lien against property. (110 days x $500/day).
