WHEREAS, the City Commission recognizes that the large number of properties with
defaulted mortgages and subject to foreclosure action or that are being foreclosed upon (often

regulate building standards for the exterior of structures and the condition of the property as a
whole; and

abandoned, neglected or left unsupervised; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission desires to amend the Code of the City of Miami, Florida,
as amended ("City Code"), in order to establish a property registration process that will identify a
contact person to address safety and aesthetic concerns to minimize the negative impact and
conditions that occur as a result of vacancy, absentee ownership and the foreclosure process;
