Reduces the timeframe for municipalities to rehabilitate certain abandoned properties from six months to three months.
This bill amends the "Abandoned Properties Rehabilitation Act" to shorten the period a property must be unoccupied before a municipality can designate it as abandoned and begin rehabilitation efforts. Currently, a property must be unoccupied for six months before the municipality can act. This bill reduces that timeframe to three months, aiming to expedite the rehabilitation of abandoned properties. The bill also outlines procedures for municipalities to take possession of abandoned properties, including serving notice to the owner and initiating foreclosure proceedings if necessary.
