New York state has created a new consumer hotline to help identify vacant properties.
Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the number—800-342-3736—on Tuesday. It's part of a larger effort by the state aimed at addressing the large number of vacant and abandoned properties known as zombie homes.
The hotline will allow local residents and officials to report vacant properties. The state is now compiling a list of all such homes and will require banks and lenders to ensure the property is maintained before foreclosure.

I called them to report a couple of houses and they tell you to go the website, where you can fill the form out and upload a photo.

Can we use 311 to report a zombie in NYC City Hall?
