Besides, the garbage getting cleaned up on NW 3rd Ave yesterday, the most important thing that happened was, we changed attitudes, made new friends and we GAVE. We gave of each other to make a difference. Families and children turned out to clean and the rewards were delicious hot dogs and hamburgers grilled by Chef Sal, gourmet beans by Lorraine. Thanks to Bill, Karen, Donna, Rene, Belle, Ray, Ann and Robert! Excuse me if I leave anyone out, it’s not my intention. Volunteers were too numerous to mention all. Thanks to everyone, including those running for office, Steve, Howard, Commissioner Charlotte Rodstrom and Karen from Dania Beach. 
THANK YOU FOR EXPRESSING CONCERN THROUGH PHONE CALLS, AND E-MAILS TO THE CITY ON THIS AND OTHER ISSUES. BELOW IS AN UPDATE FROM Mike Maloney.
I wanted to provide an update to the numerous residents who have expressed concerns regarding the problematic subject properties. As you are probably aware, the Code Enforcement Division had the structure(s) boarded up within the past two weeks. The Nuisance Abatement Board has recommended that the City foreclose on the property located at 1028 NW 3rd Av based on the code violations resulting in fines/liens.
The City at this point in time cannot go forward with foreclosure as US Bank National Assoc. has recorded a lis pendens on this property. Foreclosure action by the City cannot go forward until US Bank resolves this case regarding the foreclosure they filed. There is an upcoming Motion for Summary Judgment Hearing regarding this case according to the attorney for US Bank. Until such time as US Bank resolves this case the City is in a hold pattern regarding foreclosure action.
In the interim, Code Enforcement will continue to monitor the properties and try to keep them as secure as possible. We share your concerns regarding the blighted properties on NW 3rd Av and will do everything we can to assist.
Mike Maloney
Code Enforcement Manager
City of Fort Lauderdale
