It is the purpose and intent of the borough to establish a process to address the deterioration and blight of the borough neighborhoods caused by an increasing amount of abandoned, foreclosed or distressed real property located within the borough, and to identify, regulate, limit and reduce the number of abandoned properties located within the borough. It is the borough’s further intent to establish a registration program as a mechanism to protect neighborhoods from becoming blighted due to the lack of adequate maintenance and security of abandoned and foreclosed properties.
