We have one next door to us in Belvedere village. Empty at least four years. Overgrown, mildew, broken garage door lights, etc. I understand foreclosures routinely take 4-5 years. The banks hold onto the properties in hopes the market will rise again, which it is now doing. Banks should be legally forced to either sell these properties, or to maintain them up to community standards. I remain disgusted by the whole process!
