Defines blighted properties and areas; repealer

This bill defines "blighted properties" and "blighted areas" in New York's eminent domain law to prevent misuse. It creates specific criteria for declaring property blighted, including structural hazards, tax delinquency exceeding property value, environmental contamination requiring remediation, and persistent criminal activity. The law requires objective standards - such as structural unsoundness, lack of utilities, or owner failure to address violations after notice - before property can be deemed blighted. This directly affects property owners, developers, and local governments by setting clear, enforceable rules for eminent domain actions.
