Is there a specific property in your neighborhood that you are concerned may be blighted or abandoned? Here is a list of actions you can take.
We do not sell properties that are not currently in our inventory. If a property is not listed as “For Sale by RFP” on our Properties page, we do not own that property and can’t sell it to you. You can read more about the purchasing process here and on our Frequently Asked Questions page.

Important information regarding the Open House
and Bidding Process:
HLB properties that are listed “For Sale by RFP” may be visited by Potential Bidders ONLY during the scheduled Open Houses. Open House dates and times are posted on our social media (see links at the bottom of this page) and distributed via our newsletter.
- Due to HLB’s limited staff capacity and to ensure everyone’s time is being used effectively, if no Potential Bidders show up within the first 30 minutes of a scheduled Open House, the Open House is effectively canceled, and HLB staff will close up the property and depart. The Open House will not be rescheduled.
- All Open House attendees must complete the HLB Waiver prior to entering any HLB property: Click here to access the Waiver.
- All Open House attendees MUST provide their OWN:
- Mask.
- Flashlight.
- Notepad and pen.
- Measuring tape.
- Boots. Absolutely NO open-toed shoes, sandals, flip-flops, etc. Please see the Open House Waiver form for more safety information.
- Potential Bidders may visit HLB vacant lots at their convenience.
- Once a Potential Bidder has inspected a property, they can go online to complete the RFP. RFPs will be linked on the individual available property’s page.
Properties on state or national historic registers may qualify for rehab financing of tax credits. Please contact the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) or the Hartford Preservation Alliance for information.
