In Fl we have a mix of the elderly hauled off to a hospital and never return. There are those who walk away because of unavailability. Our weather also makes many properties uninhabitable. Mold, poor construction, weather damage. After 3 month of being empty, it starts to decay. Animals, rodents love it. Code enforcement come and place signs and do nothing else. We need programs to revitalize these homes. Find the owners, families or banks and force the upkeep or sale. The problem is exacerbated by the high insurance rates, not just cost of repairs.
Cities have different ways of dealing with code enforcement so it depends on the location. I don't like the idea of forcing people to sell their properties. Sometimes people have temporary hardships. Maybe neighbors and community could help since are usually the ones complaining when some poor elderly person doesn't keep their house up to their standards.
If we preferred involved community and a "village" mentality to isolation and individualism squatters wouldn't have a chance to move in, the neighbors would be too alert.
Anyone with half a brain needs to flee New York. If you refinance your home for what you and the bank agree it's worth, the courts can decide you exaggerated its worth, then destroy your life and take all you own. If your parents die, and leave you the deed to their home in their will, anyone can walk into your home and claim it as their own, and YOU will be the one hauled away in cuffs.

In Vancouver they passed an Empty Home tax of 1% in 2016 with homes being unoccupied 6 months or more. The same activist mindset that helped get this bill passed also probably has had an effect on legislation in places like NY. Alot of this was enabled by Occupy Wall Street which started to focus or make the argument the haves vs have nots, greed etc

But that’s not the world we live in, or you’d see different results. Mostly folks mind their own business. Code enforcement has maybe 2 people in the dept. I’m talking about houses abandoned and they try to find the owner. Temporary set backs shouldn't last more than 6 months, if not it’s a runaway situation. The homes begin to deteriorate in 3 months. If they had a problem, now it’s compounded. Again, in Fl. Mold amd vegetation, bugs and critters will take over quickly.
