MI HB4142

Establishes state housing development authority as an enforcing agency for dangerous buildings in urban core cities, including power to conduct inspections, pursue remedial action, and ultimately secure and remediate properties if local enforcement fails.

Requires property owners in urban core cities to register vacant buildings with the state housing development authority if vacant for longer than 30 days, with a $100 registration fee and $1,000 civil infraction penalty for non-compliance.

Mandates specific remediation standards for secured and remediated properties including clearing debris, ensuring structural safety, maintaining plumbing and locks, exterminating pests, securing asbestos, and boarding windows and openings with commercial-grade materials (prohibits plywood for large openings).

Establishes statewide toll-free hotline for reporting dangerous buildings in urban core cities; state housing development authority must inspect reported properties and can assume enforcement authority if local agencies do not act within 30 days.

Authorizes state housing development authority and local enforcing agencies to file liens on properties for demolition, repair, and maintenance costs; allows judgments to be enforced against owner assets beyond the subject property.
