Vacant Property Registration

The Borough has enacted an ordinance which establishes the registration, maintenance and security of vacant and abandoned properties within the Borough. The Borough's intent is to establish a process to address the amount of deteriorating real property located within the Borough, which includes property, whether vacant or occupied, about which a public notice of default has been filed, is in foreclosure, or where ownership has been transferred to lender or mortgagee by any legal method. It is the Borough's further intent to specifically establish an abandoned residential property program as a mechanism to protect residential neighborhoods from becoming blighted through the lack of adequate maintenance and security of abandoned properties.
