Of these 39 work orders, 13 were for mowing on undeveloped properties and 26 <br />were for developed properties. When looking at this increase, the change appears to be <br />attributed to developed properties which increased from 21 abatements in 2010 to 26 in <br />2011. The number of abatements on undeveloped properties increased slightly with 13 <br />abatements this year, compared with 11 the previous year. <br />Economic trends over the past few years continued to be a factor in 2011 as 24 of the 26 <br />developed property abatements occurred on vacant properties that were either abandoned <br />or in foreclosure. A significant amount of undeveloped property violations occurred this <br />year in uncompleted subdivisions where vacant lots were neglected by developers. <br />13 <br />
