Free sample: decision 1 of 10

Chronic nuisance landlord ordinances (multi-unit residential)

Two ordinances relating to DNS enforcement of code violations for multi-unit residential properties (file 25-1773) and penalties for code violations (file 25-2240). Substitutes were introduced on both files, then both items were held to the call of the chair pending additional city attorney research. Files create a 'multi-unit residential nuisance' designation and a special penalty range three times the standard under section 200-19-1.

The other decisions are listed below. Available full write-ups and conditions are included with Pro.
