1419.03 INSPECTION OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.
   (a)   Initial Inspection. Whenever a bank, lender or other financial institution shall directly, or through an agent or servicing company, initiate foreclosure proceedings upon residential real property, the bank, lender or other financial institution, either directly or through its agent or servicing company, shall cause a physical inspection to be made of the property not later than 30 days from the date of notice and in no event later than 30 days after the filing of foreclosure proceedings. One or more photographs shall be taken of the residential property accurately portraying the condition of the exterior premises. Photographs shall be dated and preserved.
   (b)   Periodic Inspections. Any bank, lender or financial institution, or its agent or servicing company, shall perform a re-inspection of a residential premises subject to foreclosure proceedings at least once every 30 days following the initial inspection until such time as the property is no longer in default as a result of agreement with the owner, or is sold at a sheriff's sale or is otherwise lawfully conveyed to a new owner. One or more photographs shall be taken at each re-inspection and shall be dated and preserved in the same manner as is required upon initial inspection. (Ord. 1745-09. Passed 9-24-09.)
