AI Summary
This bill amends Pennsylvania law to establish the Property Maintenance Code Serious Violations Registry, a statewide system for collecting and disseminating information on serious property maintenance code violations. The bill requires municipalities to report properties with unabated serious code violations to the registry, which can then be accessed by state agencies and municipalities when considering permit, licensing, or certification applications. The bill also imposes a registry penalty of $1,000 per serious violation on property owners who remain on the registry for more than a year, with the funds deposited into a special account to support the registry and related training programs. Additionally, the bill authorizes the Attorney General to assist municipalities in pursuing compliance from out-of-state property owners with serious code violations.
