§ 150.304 INSPECTION AND REGISTRATION OF REAL PROPERTY NOT SUBJECT TO A MORTGAGE IN DEFAULT.
   (A)   Any owner of registrable property that is vacant and is not registered under § 150.303 shall within ten days after the real property becomes vacant, or within ten days after assuming ownership of the real property, whichever is later, register the real property on the village registry.
   (B)   Initial registration pursuant to this subsection shall contain at a minimum the name, the mailing address, e-mail address and telephone number of the owner, and if applicable, the name, the mailing address, e-mail address and telephone number of the Property Manager.
   (C)   At the time of initial registration each registrant shall pay a non-refundable semi-annual registration fee of $300 for each vacant real property. Subsequent semi-annual registrations of defaulted properties and fees in the amount of $300 are due within ten days of the expiration of the previous registration. Said fees shall be used to offset the costs of:
      (1)   Registration and registration enforcement;
      (2)   Code enforcement and mitigation related to vacant real properties; and
      (3)   For other expenses incurred by the village directly related to fulfilling the purpose of this section.
   (D)   The owner of each individual real property that qualifies as registrable property on the effective date of this section shall have 30 days to register and pay the $300 semi-annual registration fee.
   (E)   If the real property is sold or transferred, the new owner is subject to all this section. Within ten days of the transfer, the new owner shall register the vacant real property or update the existing registration. The previous owner(s) shall not be released from the responsibility of paying all previous unpaid fees, fines and penalties accrued during that owner's ownership of the vacant real property.
   (F)   If the vacant real property is not registered, or either the registration fee or the semi-annual registration fee is not paid within 30 days of when the registration or semi-annual registration due, a late fee shall equal 10% of the semi-annual registration fee shall be charged for every 30 day-period, or portion thereof, the vacant real property is not registered and shall be due with the registration. This subsection shall apply to the initial registration and registrations required by subsequent owners of the vacant real property.
   (G)   Real properties subject to this section shall remain subject to the semi-annual registration requirement and the inspection, security and maintenance standards of this section as long as the real property is vacant.
   (H)   Failure of the owner to properly register or to modify the registration to reflect a change of circumstances as required by this section is a violation of this section.
   (I)   If any real property is in violation of this section, the village may take any action to ensure compliance with this section and may place a lien on the real property for the cost of any outstanding obligations and any additional costs incurred to the real property into compliance.
(Ord. 2019-001, passed 3-20-19)

   (B)   Registrable property shall be maintained free of graffiti or similar markings by removal or painting over with an exterior grade paint that matches the color of the exterior structure.
   (C)   Front, side, and rear yards, including landscaping, of registrable property shall be maintained in accordance with the property maintenance requirements of the applicable codes.

A “secure manner” shall include, but not be limited to, the closure and locking of windows, doors, gates and other openings of such size that may allow access to the interior of the structure. Broken windows, doors, gates, and other openings of such size that may allow access the interior of the structure must be repaired.
   (B)   If registrable property has become vacant or blighted, the mortgagee and/or owner shall designate a property manager to bring the registrable property into compliance with the applicable codes and shall regularly inspect the registrable property to verify compliance with the requirements of this section.
   (C)   Failure of the mortgagee and/or property owner to properly inspect and secure a registrable is a violation of this section.
