Blight, typically characterized by vacancy, neglect, or structural deterioration, can reduce property values, pose safety concerns, and hinder community growth.
Through strategic planning, community engagement, and redevelopment initiatives, the City works to transform these properties into assets that contribute to a stronger, more vibrant York.

What Is Blight?
Blight refers to properties that are abandoned, deteriorated, or unsafe, often causing negative impacts on surrounding neighborhoods. These conditions can lower property values and create health or safety concerns for the community.
Why Blight Matters
Blighted properties affect more than just appearance – they can attract crime, pose safety hazards, and reduce the quality of life for nearby residents. Addressing blight is essential to supporting safe, healthy, and thriving neighborhoods.
Addressing Blight
The City of York works to reduce blight through code enforcement, redevelopment programs, and partnerships with property owners and community organizations. These efforts help restore properties, attract investment, and strengthen our neighborhoods.
Be Part of the Solution
Everyone has a role in improving our neighborhoods. Whether you’re reporting a blighted property, volunteering in your community, or maintaining your own home, your efforts make a real difference. Together, we can reduce blight and build a safer, stronger City of York for all.
