That's what Sheriffs are for.
More disturbing is the following: "properties may come with liens, water bills and back taxes totaling thousands of dollars".
The city I work in (Topeka, KS) just passed an ordinance that made unpaid water bills “attached” to the property apparently Detroit already does this.
I’m surprised their ‘land bank’ properties don’t come ‘clean’. I think the city even has the authority to set a deadline for any liens to be filed, to make sure its ‘clean’.
If I lived in Detroit, and had a very good feel for the area, this would be tempting. But not being there, too many unknowns.

Yep, the city’s ‘RAT rulers are looking for some suckers to come in and fork over money to them.
