How to report a vacant or abandoned property?

The Village of Mount Morris is looking for residents to help identify vacant and abandoned properties in their neighborhoods. Distressed, vacant and abandoned properties are detriments faced by most communities throughout Western New York, the State of New York and the country. Vacant and abandoned properties strain the resources of the Village’s police, fire and public works departments, depreciate property values, reduce property tax revenue, attract crime and degrade the quality of life of remaining residents.
 
To assist in developing a complete abandoned property inventory, the Village is requesting any residents or neighbors that have information regarding a vacant or abandoned property in their neighborhood to please contact the Village and share this information. The Village is looking for information such as, but not limited to: property address, last known tenants/owners and contact information, activity at the property, condition of the property and other information residents feel are important regarding the property. Information can be sent confidentially to the Village by email.
 
Residents are the eyes and ears of our neighborhoods. Information regarding abandoned properties you may have may assist the community in combating and reversing the negative impacts of the abandoned properties.
