The Problem

 Since 2008, nearly 57,000 foreclosures in the City of San

Diego

 Many homes are neglected and fall into disrepair  These houses attract crime, illegal dumping, and can

present fire hazards

 If owner unavailable or unresponsive, City must send staff

ut to abate the violation

SLIDE 3

The Problem

 In addition to affecting the quality of life for residents,

nuisance structures drag down property values in the surrounding area.

 Lower property values result in lower property tax

revenues for the City.

 Enforcement is problematic:

 Foreclosed residents have little financial or legal incentive to

respond

 Title holder may be unclear as lending institutions can sell

loans repeatedly

Statewide Framework

 July 2008: Governor Schwarzenegger signs SB1137 into law

 Authorizes local governments to impose civil fines of up to

$1,000 per day for failure of a lender or other purchaser in foreclosure to maintain vacant residential property in good condition and repair

 August 2012: Governor Brown signs AB2314 into law

 Renews SB1137 (Set to expire January, 2013)  Ensures local jurisdictions continue to have the tools to prevent

and fight neighborhood blight due to foreclosures
