Summary

The law lets a receiver or interested party ask a judge to order the sale of a vacant, abandoned building after a public nuisance is fixed or an abatement plan is approved. It gives priority to buyers who provide affordable housing, sell below market value, use housing vouchers, require owner‑occupancy, or install an energy‑storage system. Sale proceeds are distributed in a set order, and energy‑storage projects on such sites are treated as a permitted use with specific size and placement limits.
