(Allegheny County, PA) Allegheny County has mostly relied on violation notices and liens to pressure property owners to take care of issues such as a property falling into disrepair. However, an update to that county’s housing standards means Allegheny County can hire someone to solve the problem and stick the owner with the bill. Once a property owner has ignored multiple violation notices, that county will hire a contractor to solve the problem because of this update.
