Purpose & background

This ordinance begins foreclosure proceedings on this property with delinquent City liens that are eligible for foreclosure under Administrative Rule ADM-14.10. The liens were placed against the property by Portland Permitting and Development for code enforcement, code violations, nuisance abatement or chronic offender violations. This property comes before Council as part of a coordinated effort by the Mayor’s Office, Portland Permitting and Development and the Revenue Division to actively pursue remedies, including foreclosure, for vacant and distressed properties. This property has been identified as causing significant problems for neighbors and are the subject of multiple and frequent police calls and numerous enforcement activities.The Foreclosure Prevention Manager in the Revenue Division has reviewed each case to ensure it meets criteria for foreclosure. The Foreclosure Prevention Manager has also reviewed whether any aggravating or mitigating conditions exist within the case history that would prevent the City from moving forward with foreclosure or warrant an adjustment of the lien amounts. The property owner and parties of interest have received notification of the pending foreclosure action.
