Citya s a zombie propertya program still in limbo
Computer software problems are still hampering city efforts in how to cope with so-called “zombie properties.” The city spent about $ 60,000 on computer software to handle the zombie properties, a term that describes homes abandoned by owners after they stop paying the mortgage and before banks begin foreclosure But the software still isn't working. The city had planned on starting the zombie property program to deal with dozens of abandoned houses that dot Watertown more than a year ago.
