ACCE and LA City Council Fight Blight
Submitted by david on 12 July 2010 - 12:44pm
On Saturday, over thirty ACCE members were joined by LA City Council President Eric Garcetti, Councilmember Bernard Parks, and supporters from SEIU and One LA at a blighted vacant home in South LA to announce the city's new Foreclosure Registry Ordinance.
The law, which ACCE helped develop and build public support for, will require banks to register properties with the city after a Notice of Default has been filed, and will subject banks to a fine of up to $1000 per day for blighted foreclosed properties. ACCE members then canvassed the neighborhood to let local residents know about the new law.
LA residents are encouraged to report a blighted property by going to http://www.lahoodwinked.com/
