It is the purpose and intent of the Board of Trustees to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the village and to ensure mortgagees, landlords, and owners take responsibility to prevent and avoid nuisances in the village. The purpose of this chapter is to identity foreclosing or foreclosed mortgages, vacant property, and rental property in the village, to ensure that such properties meet and maintain minimum building and housing code standards and exterior maintenance standards. The Board of Trustees has determined that requiring that all foreclosing mortgages, vacant properties, rental properties be registered with the village and inspected serves these legitimate governmental interests.
