Neighbors house is boarded up - I want it, how do i get it??

[Chad Aziz]

Right next to my rental property, is a boarded up house.  I want to buy it.  I know it's owned by HSBC Bank, as that's who the Tax Assessor's office has listed as the title owner.  How do I go about buying it?  Will the bank sell it to me or do they have a set process on how they handle these situations?  Does anyone have experience doing this?  Thanks in advance for looking and replying to this post.
