Cities often face challenges with blighted or dilapidated properties, which can lead to decreased property values, increased crime, and a negative impact on community aesthetics. To address these issues, cities may take the following steps:

1. **Identification**: 

   - Conduct surveys or inspections to identify blighted properties.

   - Utilize complaints from residents or neighborhood associations.

   - Use data analytics and mapping tools to track and visualize troubled areas.

2. **Legal Framework**:

   - After identifying property and inviting property owner to work with City, the City employs the State law to abate, address and ameliorate blighted, dilapidated properties

3. **Collaboration**:

   - Partner with local community organizations and residents to prioritize areas for    

      intervention.

4. **Remediation and Redevelopment**:

   - Property owners who partner with the City to bring their property into a rehabilitated 

      state avoid intimidating, timely and costly Court proceedings.

6. **Legal Action**:

   - Pursue legal action against non-compliant property owners as a last resort.

   - Utilize State law to gain property compliance as to Blight and dilapidation remediation

7. **Monitoring and Feedback**:

   - Set up ongoing monitoring systems to prevent future dilapidation.

   - Involve community feedback in decision-making processes.

Overall, addressing blighted properties requires a multi-faceted approach that combines regulatory measures, community engagement, and creative redevelopment strategies.
