Dear Omar,

We do not have a "List" of vacant or abandoned property but attached are deed transfers that the dwelling is currently vacant and maintained satisfying #1. These are inspected by the property maintenance official bi-annually as you can see from each sheet the last time it was inspected.

Attached you will find inspector activities report. All with a "C" is a complaint of either grass, trash, junk vehicle which satisfies #8. Not sure what you want for #3. Is it the properties that the Township abated with a lien placed upon the property?

I do not have any record of condemned addresses #2.

#4 would properly come from the Fire Department on calls they made not from this office. Angela, please forward the original request to both fire departments.

The rest comes from other departments.

Best Regards
