In keeping with the Patrick-Murray Administration’s multi-faceted response to the foreclosure crisis, the Division of Banks (Division) today opened its online database of Massachusetts foreclosure notices to the general public. The web-based resource, available at www.mass.gov/dob, allows the Division to study trends and better focus foreclosure examination efforts.
The Division opened the database to local public safety and code enforcement officials several weeks ago, enabling municipalities to better respond to public safety hazards associated with vacant foreclosed properties. To date, public officials in 122 cities and towns have registered for the database.
