Increasing numbers of these properties are being abandoned by cash-strapped owners, leaving messes and headaches for neighbors and municipal officials. Chandler real-estate agent Liz Morganroth said she dons a disposable face mask before she inspects new foreclosure listings but can't always escape the stench."
