Introduced
by
To establish a definition of “blight” in one of the state statutes that authorizes local blight reduction projects. Under this definition “blighted property" would mean property that has been declared a public nuisance in accordance with a local housing, building, plumbing, fire, or other code; is an attractive nuisance because of physical condition or use; is a fire hazard or is otherwise dangerous; has had the utilities, plumbing, heating, or sewerage disconnected, destroyed, removed, or rendered ineffective for one year or more; is tax reverted property; has code violations posing a severe and immediate health or safety threat and has not been substantially rehabilitated within one year after being ordered to do so by the appropriate code enforcement agency. Note: Proposal 4 of 2006 has limited the authority of governments to condemn entire neighborhoods because some properties are considered “blighted”.
