![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() McCormac noted that property maintenance, trash and debris and overcrowded and potentially illegal housing throughout Woodbridge Township continue as a priority for township inspectors assigned to the Code Enforcement Task Force. The Woodbridge Township Municipal Council recently adopted an Ordinance creating the “Abandoned Property List” to address property abandonment and property tax delinquency, and authorized the Woodbridge Redevelopment Agency to act as the entity to acquire, hold and dispose of abandoned/vacant properties. The Ordinance also created the Vacant/Abandoned Property Registry that requires the owners of vacant properties to register them as such and pay the Township an annual fee and holds creditors who file foreclosure on mortgage properties accountable for maintaining the security and appearance of the property during the foreclosure action and thereafter. The Redevelopment Agency will work to acquire title to abandoned and/or encumbered properties, redevelop some properties into market-rate units designed to improve the neighborhood, and work with other agencies to hold onto the properties for future uses, the statement said. The Woodbridge Redevelopment Agency has notified the owners of 35 abandoned and/or vacant Woodbridge Township properties that they have 45 days to respond with a plan to sell, rehabilitate or otherwise return the property to productive use. ![]()
