Summary
The city has about $140,000 in delinquent cleanup liens on 159 properties this year, down from roughly $188,000 last year. Numbers are preliminary after a software glitch delayed the report, and the repeat-offender count isn't available yet. These liens head to appeal hearings in September before being certified to the county tax collector.
