This ordinance modifies this report procedure to require that the commissioner, in consultation with the local common council member, classify each improved neighborhood property in one of the following categories, with the category designation noted on the report:

a. Habitable Property. This property is habitable in its current condition or can be rendered habitable with reasonable effort and funds proportionate to the assessed value of the property. The property shall be marketed to private purchasers for owner-occupancy. If rehabilitation or restoration is required, the property shall not be sold until the commissioner of neighborhood services has approved a restoration plan for the property and the commissioner of city development has certified that the prospective purchaser has the skills and financial resources to carry out the plan.
