his month we launch an entirely new website for Metro Monthly. Our new-and-improved site will allow us to better present the content that’s found in our print publication. We’ve also added new features and more multi-media content. Popular features like Mitch Lynch and Helga Wengler’s “Homeplate Homestyle,” Paula Jasper’s “Explore the Mahoning Valley,” and Sophia Brooks’ “Expressions” now have dedicated areas with rotating content. Mahoning Valley history and special print features also have prominent positions on the revamped site. Since there are over 1,000 articles archived on the former website, it will take time for some older content to appear on the new site. Significant articles and more-recent content were given top priority. We hope you’ll enjoy the new look. Be sure to visit often and share the content with friends, family, and coworkers. The website’s address is www.metromonthly.net. Enjoy this beautiful season. Be well and see you next month. Ð Mark C. Peyko, Metro Monthly Publisher

Ohio changes sale process for abandoned properties Q: Several abandoned houses in our neighborhood are hurting our property values. What is being done about these abandoned properties in Ohio? A: Following the great recession, it became clear that abandoned properties were lowering neighborhood property values. When a property owner defaults on a loan, a court is generally responsible for selling the property through a “judicial sale,” such as an auction. In many parts of the state, judicial sales were taking far too long to be held, which gave more time for properties to become abandoned and for problems to arise. I understand that the Ohio legislature changed the law regarding judicial sales in Ohio. What was the goal of this change? The goal of the legislation was to modernize the process by which property is sold in the state, maximize sales prices by allowing for a more diverse group of potential bidders and attempt to reduce blight by disposing of troubled properties more quickly. If I have missed payments on my mortgage-loan, can I still contest the bank’s ability to foreclose my house? Yes.You, as the borrower, can still contest the lender’s entitlement to foreclose on the property. The new laws mainly focus on how residential properties can be sold in Ohio after the court enters a foreclosure decree. What happens if I am in foreclosure and I intentionally damage my house to get back at the lender? The new law would make you subject to a misdemeanor for criminal mischief for damaging, destroying or improperly tampering with property once you have been served with the summons and complaint in the foreclosure action. Will the sheriff still conduct judicial sales? Yes and no. The sheriff will still handle judicial in a vast majority of cases. However, the foreclosing lender, such as a bank, can ask the court to appoint a private selling officer (PSO) to market and sell the property instead. The PSO must be a licensed auctioneer and real estate broker/salesperson. Will judicial sales still take place at the courthouse? Again, yes and no. The new law requires a single, statewide auction management system to be implemented. For the first five years of the new management system, individual counties can choose to hold sheriff’s sales at the courthouse or to sell residential properties through Internet auctions. If an individual county decides to hold Internet auctions, the county sheriff must give notice similar to what is required for a sheriff’s sale. This includes notice of the auction’s start date, the minimum amount of time the auction will last (no less than seven days), the website address of the Internet sale, and the required deposit and costs. After the management system has been in place for five years, there will be no more in-person sheriff’s sales at the courthouse, and all judicial sales of residential property must be completed through Internet auctions managed by individual county’s sheriff departments. What happens if there is a judicial sale, but nobody buys the property? The new law requires the county sheriff to set two dates for the sale of residential property. The court sets the first sale date and lists a second sale date in case the original sale is “no bid, no sale.” The second sale date must be held between seven and 30 days from the date of the initial sale. If the residential property goes to the second sale, there is no minimum bid requirement. This provides a greater chance for the property to be sold, rather than having to use the original two-thirds sheriff’s appraised value that was used for the first sale date.

Future DIY project? Confirm zoning requirements I

COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR DOCTOR ONLINE ■ How can I communicate digitally with my health care provider? First, tell your health care provider you prefer to communicate by text, email or other electronic application. Providers have legitimate concerns about liability for violating patient privacy, so they may request that you not communicate with them electronically or they may suggest that you use specific, approved apps or platforms that let you securely send messages and access your medical information. These secure platforms protect both you and your health care provider. ■ Can I send information from fitness tracking or diabetes monitoring devices to my provider?

Regardless of the type of improvement you may want to make to your home (building an addition, adding a deck, installing an awning or constructing a shed), you must always consider whether the new structure will comply with your local zoning requirements or if you need any additional permits. First, find out whether your jurisdiction has implemented zoning. Cities, towns and villages almost always have a zoning ordinance. Many townships have a zoning resolution, but some do not. Generally, zoning laws have many requirements. These include how far structures must be set back from the property lines, how various structures maybe used, and what percentage of your lot size a structure may cover. Many homeowners are unaware of the number of requirements, but if you violate any of them, ignorance will not be a defense. If you don’t comply, the consequences can be more severe than a mere fine. Before adding a porch to the front of your house, you must first find out whether the porch meets the front yard setback requirements. Note that steps may not be included when your

Ask your health care provider if he or she needs or can accept information from such applications. Consumer fitness and health applications can help you stay on track with exercise routines or monitor calorie counts (and other measures), but many of them do not provide true medical monitoring. Ask your physician whether the application protects your privacy, is accurate and reliable, and whether the data is useful to your physician. Your health care provider may be able to suggest which applications and medically approved devices will best meet your medical needs. ■ Why is it so hard for my health care provider to share information with other health care providers? Health care providers can usually share patient health information with other health

municipality determines compliance. Cities usually require only a building permit, but you must have zoning compliance to receive a building permit. Townships do not issue building permits, but they do require a zoning permit if there is zoning. What could happen if I don’t comply with the zoning requirements? Ohio law gives local governments a number of remedies for zoning code violations, many of which are severe. If you didn’t comply with the zoning requirements when you built your front porch, then your local government can assess fines until you do comply with them. Each day of noncompliance is a separate violation with a fine. Your local government can also seek injunctive relief against you. This means that during construction you must stop all activities on structures that are in violation of the zoning code. If you don’t, you will be held in contempt of court. That could mean fines and potential incarceration (in egregious circumstances). Even after the work is completed, the court has the power to order you to remove the part of the porch that violates the zoning. Even if the local government takes no action against you, adjoining property owners have the right to sue you to enforce the zoning requirements.

care providers for appropriate reasons, such as patient treatment. Sometimes a provider must get the patient’s permission before sharing the information, depending on the communication. Even if the information-sharing is appropriate and/or permitted, it can still be cumbersome to transfer information from one provider to another. Not all health care providers use electronic records, and not all electronic record systems “talk” to each other. Health information flows more freely between healthcare providers now than in the past, but some information still must be sent by mail or fax. ■ Why won’t my physician reply to emails or direct messages or “friend” me on Facebook? The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability

Homeowners sometimes think it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, but when it comes to zoning, this is not the case. By failing to ensure compliance, you open yourself to the risks and consequences mentioned above. How can I make sure my project complies with the local zoning code? The best way to ensure that you will comply with the applicable zoning requirements is to consult with the local zoning official before starting any work. You should consult the building department in a city or the zoning officer in a township. You can also seek legal counsel to confirm that you are in compliance with your local zoning requirements. If your project does not comply with local zoning laws, you may seek additional permits, such as a conditional use permit or a variance, which will allow you to complete the project as an exception to what the zoning code requires. For example, let’s say the porch you plan to build would be closer to the street than zoning allows. If you want to proceed, you could apply to the board of zoning appeals for a “setback variance.” This would allow you to build the front porch, even though it would not comply with the zoning code’s front yard setback requirements. It would be wise to seek legal

Act (HIPAA) privacy regulations forbid healthcare providers (and their employees) from using or disclosing patient information without authorization, except for certain legitimate purposes, such as patient treatment. HIPAA protects patient information in all forms—electronic, “paper,” and verbal. Healthcare workers cannot talk about their patients using protected health information outside of work. Unless you give your physician written permission to disclose your specific information, social media postings may give rise to legal claims such as invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, etc. Because violations of patient privacy can have serious legal consequences for health care providers, most choose to limit the platforms they will use to communicate with patients about personal health information. This is also why healthcare providers

Privacy regulations forbid healthcare providers (and their employees) from using or disclosing patient information without authorization, except for certain legitimate purposes, such as patient treatment. refrain from responding to patient-specific complaints about service or care on review sites such as Yelp or Angie’s List. ■ What are some improper uses of social media by healthcare providers? It would be improper for your physician, on her blog, to refer to you by name and indicate you are her patient or describe details of your care, or for a medical student to film a surgery with the patient’s face clearly visible and then post the video on YouTube, or for a nurse to post on her Facebook
