Macomb County MI - City of Warren to enact a foreclosure registry to combat blight and safety issues

The City of Warren MI in Macomb County is in the process of enacting a city wide foreclosure registry.

I think it's about darned time that the city officials stepped in to combat the blight and the safety issues
that happen with some abandoned foreclosures.

Bank owners (and other owners) will be required to register the homes with the city within 5 days of
the notice of foreclosure in the courts or advertising the foreclosure in the newspaper. The bank owners
(or other owners) must inspect the homes to ensure the homes are safe: Pools drained and covered if they are not in operable condition with clean water, doors secured and windows locked (or boarded) and lawns maintained.

It's going to be up to real estate agents who market these homes for sale to keep on top of things with
their bank clients and notify them when they accept a listing within the City of Warren of this new ordinance.

I believe the ordinance is scheduled to take effect upon the 2nd official reading of it within the City Council. When this happens I will update you.

It's going to much more enjoyable for my buyer clients to view homes in the City of Warren once this ordinance takes effect. Neighborhoods and home values will also be helped by this long overdue ordinance. I hope other communities in Macomb County MI follow suit and enact their own.
