Report
Summary
The Neighborhood Services Department (NSD) completed abatements resulting in total costs to the City of approximately $98,000 for the following two privately owned wash parcels that are a part of a larger wash system primarily owned by the City:
• APN 208-02-310, bounded as follows: north by W. Union Hills Drive, east by N. 3rd Avenue, south by W. Bluefield Avenue., and west by N. 5th Avenue.
• APN 208-02-312, bounded as follows: north by W. Bluefield Avenue, east by N. 3rd Avenue, south by W. Grovers Avenue, and west by N. 5th Avenue.
Due to delinquent abatement liens and ongoing violations, NSD initiated foreclosures on both parcels, in accordance with Abatement Lien Program standards. APN 208-02-310 received no bids at auction. The owner of APN 208-02-312 entered into a settlement agreement to convey the property to the City in lieu of foreclosure and further enforcement actions.
Item approval authorizes the acceptance of real property and disbursement of funds for any necessary fees or costs related to these and other properties resulting from Abatement Lien Program actions through June 2027.
Financial Impact
Costs will not exceed $150,000 through June 2027. Funding is available in the Neighborhood Services Department's operating budget.
