Registration of vacant properties. This is due to the large increase in the number of vacant properties in Glenview -- which can lead to lack of maintenance, nuisance complaints, and other problems. This requirement would involve identifying all vacant properties in town, conducting a code compliance inspection ($500 fee) for each to assess its current condition, and thereafter require an annual registration fee of $200 that could be used to offset maintenance problems.
