This bill enacts the "City of Buffalo Historic Preservation Receivership Act," which provides the City of Buffalo with specific procedures for appointing a receiver of rents in cases where a property is neglected or abandoned. The bill defines an "abandoned property" and the conditions under which a receiver can be appointed. It outlines the powers and duties of the receiver, including the ability to take possession of the property, collect rent, and undertake rehabilitation. The bill also addresses the distribution of sale proceeds if the property is sold by the receiver. The goal of the legislation is to address the issue of historic buildings in Buffalo that have been abandoned or neglected by their owners.
