What is the Problematic Properties Program?

The Problematic Properties Program is managed by the Code Enforcement Division of the Planning Department. It targets properties that pose a public nuisance to neighborhoods and communities. These properties can include abandoned or substandard homes that continue to drain city resources, structurally compromised buildings, or those properties that are hotspots for criminal activity.
