CITY OF BUFFALO MAYOR’S ANTI FLIPPING TASK FORCE MISSION:The Mayor’s Anti-Flipping Task Force (AFTF) combats the unsavory real estate practices of unethical and fraudulent property flipping that contribute to neighborhood destabilization and community disinvestment.
The AFTF was established in response to residents’
complaints regarding property flipping of homes in distressed neighborhoods.
Housing Court Liaison Michele Johnson and Building Inspector Tracy Krug
observed flipping activity and began to investigate and shed light on this
practice. On December 16, 2004, at the request of Assemblymember Sam Hoyt, a
NYS Assembly hearing took place to address community complaints regarding
the practice involving vacant properties being sold repeatedly without
regard to condition or actual value.
