New law tightens grip on absentee landlords in Pennsylvania
Harrisburg moves to close a loophole that shielded absentee landlords who own vacant blighted properties. The measure targets shell companies used to dodge fines for code violations and aims to speed up enforcement statewide amid tens of thousands of vacant buildings. Local leaders say stronger action is needed. Johnstown and Philadelphia are cited as examples of reform efforts and blight courts.
