The purpose of this chapter is to establish an abandoned properties program as a tool to protect and preserve our neighborhoods from becoming blighted through the lack of adequate maintenance and security concerns at abandoned structures. The Village of Russells Point believes the presence of abandoned properties can lead to neighborhood decline, create public nuisances, contribute to lower property values, and discourage potential buyers from purchasing a home in neighborhoods with abandoned properties.
