Last week I joined Senator Jeff Klein, Senator David Carlucci, and Deputy Mayor Don Hammond of Nyack in releasing a new report and urging Rockland homeowners to report zombie properties. I know that all municipalities are faced with zombie homes. South Nyack is no exception.
Effective December 20, 2016, New York State has adopted a law which will address this issue. Municipalities will be able to enter onto and maintain any mortgage delinquent residential property in order to address a threat to public health, safety, and welfare. This has been a long time coming. South Nyack will definitely take advantage of this new law to protect the health of our residents and the values of our properties. I urge everyone to report any zombie property by calling the Zombie Property Hotline at
800-342-3736.
I hope to see all of you this Sunday, August 28 – 6:30-8:30pm for our summer concert held at the Franklin Street Park. Gather your family, friends and neighbors and join us in the park to enjoy a performance by The Old No. 7 band.
Enjoy the rest of your week,
Bonnie Christian
