Code enforcement will be a critical tool to prevent vacancy and abandonment. While federal, state, and local governments have moratoriums on foreclosures and evictions, eventually those payments will become due. Property conditions may get worse as owners defer needed maintenance and lending institutions change their practices. Code enforcement traditionally plays an important role in maintaining safe and healthy housing, and its role will become more pronounced given these new dynamics. Strategic code enforcement goes beyond property inspections and notices, instead weaving together regulation, policy, cost recovery, and “carrots and sticks” in the context of market realities.
