  • Allows the director to seek forfeiture of nuisance properties to the Crown if owners fail to restore them
  • Lets the court order demolition of structures on nuisance properties and recover costs from the property owner
  • Protects certain interest holders, like banks and credit unions, from losing their registered interests when a property is forfeited
  • Creates investigator powers to enter, inspect and search properties suspected of being nuisance properties, with warrants where needed
  • Sets fines up to $10,000 for individuals and $25,000 for corporations on a first offence, rising for repeat offences, for violating orders under the new Part
