With the new ordinance, vacant properties owners would have two years to work with the city to rehab, sell or demolish sites, with a one-year extension available to those demonstrating progress. Afterward, the city will fine every code violation up to $2,000 a month.

In the past, a property owner had to pay a vacancy fee of $7,000 a year. Now, they can be charged up to $24,000.
