Clean up foreclosed home, or city will - Las Vegas Sun

Clean up foreclosed home, or city will - Las Vegas Sun: "As a growing number of cities across the country are aggressively forcing owners of foreclosed and abandoned properties to clean them up, Las Vegas is going after them with the help of a three-year-old ordinance that, until recently, wasn’t much needed.

Under the law, Las Vegas’ Neighborhood Services Department oversees cleanups of decaying or ignored homes that generate neighborhood complaints. The city may water lawns or clean pools and go after the owners for the cost. If they don’t pay, they are slapped with $500-a-day fines."

That's a hefty fine that should get the attention of these banks who own property and won't take care of it. Thanks to Fred Pilot for this link.
