Consider filing a lis pendens notice in county property records, and argue that successive owners are on notice and bound by the results of the hearing.

Counselors,

How have your cities/towns dealt with nuisance abatement cases where the property owner conveys the property a few days before the scheduled hearing?  This is occurring with a sovereign citizen who conveys the property to a relative on the eve of the nuisance abatement hearing.  Would appreciate hearing how this has been approached in other municipalities.

I seem to recall a provision in the International Building Code or the Property Maintenance Code that prohibits transfer after an abatement has been initiated.  If your City has adopted the either code, it might be worth a look.  I can’t remember the specific language or provision, but I know we have used it to prevent the “shell game” of transferring title to avoid responsibility.
