Scranton, PA Rehabilitation of a Condemned - Assured Partners Bookroll Bond
Overview
Scranton property owners who have received a condemnation notice from the city have a narrow path to compliance: post this bond and begin rehabilitation. This bond protects the City of Scranton and its residents by guaranteeing that a condemned property will be properly rehabilitated according to city standards. It sits on the Assured Partners Bookroll, meaning it is administered through that specific program for properties flagged under Scranton's condemnation process. Failing to secure it means the rehabilitation permit process in Scranton simply does not move forward.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you own a property in Scranton, Pennsylvania that has been officially condemned and you want to rehabilitate it rather than demolish it, this bond is your required next step. It applies to individual property owners and entities who have been directed by Scranton city officials to restore a condemned structure to a habitable or compliant condition. Without this bond posted, the city will not authorize you to proceed with rehabilitation work. This is a local Scranton requirement — it is not a state-level Pennsylvania bond.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees to the City of Scranton that you, as the property owner, will complete the rehabilitation of the condemned property in full compliance with all applicable city requirements. If you fail to complete the work, abandon the project, or violate permit conditions, the city has the bond as a financial backstop to address the resulting harm. It is a compliance mechanism — not insurance for your construction work, but a city-facing guarantee that you will follow through. The Assured Partners Bookroll designation means this bond runs through a specific program administered for Scranton's condemnation rehabilitation process.
When is it Required?
Renewal or reinstatement of this bond is critical — if it lapses before rehabilitation is complete, your authorization to continue the work in Scranton can be jeopardized immediately. This bond is required at the point of applying for or receiving a city permit to rehabilitate a condemned structure in Scranton. The city will not release you from the bond obligation until the rehabilitation is inspected and accepted as complete. Any pause in coverage during an active rehabilitation project puts you at risk of city enforcement action.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within the City of Scranton, Pennsylvania. It is a local city requirement tied to Scranton's condemnation and property rehabilitation process — it has no effect or application outside Scranton city limits. The obligee is the City of Scranton, and only Scranton's property and code enforcement officials have jurisdiction over this bond.
