John Mogk, Wayne State University law professor, comments about the Wayne County Nuisance Abatement Program (WCNAP) which targets neglectful owners of abandoned buildings and vacant properties. If an owner refuses to properly maintain a property, lawyers with the WCNAP make the case to a judge that the vacant property is a nuisance and should be handed over to the county. The county then sells it to someone who pledges to fix it. Community groups and neighbors hail the effort as finally spurring stubborn landlords into action, but the experts say the program could set off a property rights debate and is ripe for a challenge. \"It promotes good public policy … but (the county) is operating in an unclear constitutional area,\" Mogk says. \"It\'s kind of on the edge of what may be viewed as a forced transfer.\"
