If the department chooses to solicit bids for a neighborhood property, the department shall, at the direction of the common council member in whose district the property is located, prepare a notice which may be mailed by the common council member to each resident and property owner of the circular area having a radius of 500 feet, centered on the property which is to be sold, informing residents and property owners that the city is soliciting offers to purchase the property.

The commissioner may impose restrictions and remedies in connection with any such conveyance, in order to effectuate the transaction, including, but not limited to, deed restrictions requiring home ownership or ownership by property-tax-paying owners, deadlines for commencement and completion of improvements, requiring the combination of the parcel with another or other parcels, and requiring the correction of building code violations and satisfaction of orders of the health department and department of neighborhood services, and reversionary or other city-protective provisions in the event of breach or default.

Any member of the common council may, within 15 calendar days, direct the commissioner to withhold from disposition any parcel located in his or her aldermanic district. The commissioner may then only sell or dispose of such parcel after common council action.

The commissioner of neighborhood services also has the authority to issue garden permits for city-owned vacant lots.

Such residents and property owners are given 30 days to respond to bid on the property. A bid submitted by the resident or property owner within the 500 foot radius who intends to occupy as an owner shall be given first consideration with respect to the purchase of the...
