Beschreibung
The 4 plex at the NW corner of 31st and West is apparently owned by a bank. It was boarded up, but some homeless people have entered the property. There is evidence of prostitution occurring from a woman who comes out of the units to troll for clients. Please have the property re-secured, lien the property and recover costs from the bank.

This is from June 29, 2012.
The Oakland City Council this week passed a law that expands the ordinance that fines Big Banks $1,000 per day for not maintaining their blighted foreclosed properties, as well as expanded registration requirements.
Under the previous ordinance, the has collected over $1.6 million in fees and penalties as well as getting banks to actually clean up their vacant and blighted properties. But at the same time, notices of defaults issued by banks have led to properties left in limbo, abandoned and left in blighted and deteriorating conditions.
The expanded ordinance closes this loophole following the lead taken by other cities across the state. The new ordinance will now require banks to register and inspect vacant and occupied properties that are in “default” and maintain vacant “notice of default” properties.
“These are necessary amendments. We want to make sure that we keep banks accountable for the mess they made with the foreclosures,” said Councilmember Desley Brooks.
Okay, so the ordinance was passed. Where is the oversight and enforcement? This is just one of many blighted NOD and REO properties in Oakland.
