Finding and contacting the owner of an abandoned property

So there is a property close to me in the east end of Pittsburgh that I have had my eye on for a while. It is abandoned but It is in an AMAZING location and I think it could potentially be a great deal for me. BUT when looking at the Allegheny tax website it shows the owner as the guy who died in the house. Then when looking at the owner mailing address it shows a different address than the home I'm interested in. 

I talked to the neighbor today who said she has been in her house for 4 years and it has been vacant the entire time she has lived there. She seems to think there is an insurance company or hospital with a lien against the house. The tax site also shows that the taxes have not been paid for the past 3 years. I cannot see beyond that. 

I can take that owner mailing address and search for it on the same site and get the owners first and last name.

Other than mailing that address and walking up to the front door what other ways could I contact the owner of the property? 

Does anyone know of a way to gather more info on this property? 

Thanks in advance!
