These are under the Department of Adminstrative Hearings. Unfortunately, in a city that can't fill needed police and fire jobs due to budget concerns these are seen as small potatoes. Remember the last few years the foreclosures have increased exponentially at a time where the City is slashing its budget. Not an excuse, but an attempt to explain what is going on here. I for one am sick of being surrounded by empty homes that are blighting my property. If something does not happen soon I too, a professional who has lived within the City Borders most of his 44 years is leaving too.
