Jul 14, 2026

After staff due diligence, the Commission authorized initiating foreclosure actions on properties with unpaid code liens, including one with approximately $207,750 owed and two related liens on a North Andrews Avenue property; commissioners discussed incentives for lien payment and the limits on charging interest under state law.

The full story

The City Attorney presented memoranda and recommended initiating foreclosure action on properties with outstanding code liens after due diligence showed market value and clear title conditions. He reported an example lien with an outstanding balance of about $207,750 (as of an April memo) on a property whose appraised market value exceeded $1.4 million and recommended moving forward. On separate properties at 2785–2845 N Andrews Avenue the attorney reported liens totaling approximately $43,792 and $126,000, existing mortgages, and an appraised market value indicating possible equity available for recovery.
