Summary

The law lets a judge order the sale of a vacant, nuisance‑creating building after a court‑appointed receiver fixes the problem. It favors buyers who will provide low‑ or moderate‑income housing, sell below market, use housing vouchers, keep the property owner‑occupied, or install an energy storage system. It also makes renewable energy and storage projects on contaminated sites a permitted, by‑right use.
