This will identify a vacant building that is unoccupied, unsecure and in violation of city ordinance. There is a registration for vacant properties and the city will determine if the property meets the criteria. This is an attempt to address the problem with the homeowner. They will have to submit a plan to bring it up to code. This will not apply to a house for sale or unoccupied; it will only address to those that are considered a nuisance.
