Only in cases of pandemic abandonment have cities "seized" properties and resurrected them and sold them. Otherwise your city's Community Development department is responsible for responding to nuisance property, usually through a "Code Compliance" or "Code Enforcement" division.
Even in those cases, the city still can't sell the property - only the treasurer/tax collector can. It would be fraud for the city to sell lands it doesn't own, correct?
