  • If a public officer, or any other local official responsible for administration of any property maintenance or public nuisance code, determines that the creditor has failed to provide for the care, maintenance, security, and upkeep of the exterior of a vacant and abandoned property, as required by this chapter, then the public officer, or other authorized municipal official, shall issue a notice to the creditor that has filed the summons and complaint in the foreclosure action. The notice shall require the person or entity being notified to correct the violation within 30 days of receipt of the notice, or within 10 days of receipt of the notice if the violation presents an imminent threat to public health and safety. The issuance of a notice pursuant to this section shall constitute proof that a property is "vacant and abandoned" for the purposes of N.J.S.A. 2A:50-73.
