McKeesport aggressively enforces IPMC against blighted properties. City uses PA Act 135 Conservatorship and Act 90 blight remedies. Unpaid code fines become liens and can lead to Sheriff sale.

Owners of blighted properties may be denied permits citywide, face daily fines, and property may be subject to conservatorship under PA Act 135 of 2008. Contact McKeesport at (412) 675-5000.
