Trying to buy a condemned property

Hi BP,

So there's a house 4 doors down from my inlaws, it's a fine C neighborhood. The house is condemned (I suspect it was abandoned after a fire), and it's making the area look terrible. Seems like a decent investment opportunity if I can get it for the cost of the land. I looked up the owner and it's registered to an LLC, who hasn't responded to my emails asking if it's for sale. The LLC seems like it's still active as well, they're at least doing their paperwork every year I think.

Is there anything I can do to force the sale of a condemned property if the owners won't take care of it?

Thanks!

@Jason Cummings

Are they keeping the taxes current? Buy the lien. Also find out who the managing member is & cold call him/her.
