SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN A 12-MONTH PERIOD OF TIME THE
ISSUANCE OF A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT, MUNICIPAL INFRACTION, OR A
WRITTEN NOTICE OF VIOLATION HAS OCCURRED. (FIRST
CONSIDERATION)
Comment: The Neighborhood Relations Task Force has recommended
amending the City Code to require increased accountability for landlords and
tenants of "nuisance rental properties". The taskforce recommended that the
City develop a process to identify and address properties that are subject to
numerous or serious complaints, including a method for identifying such
properties, establishing a process to work with the owners of such properties,
and standards for meeting compliance. "Nuisance rental properties" are those
properties that have chronic Code violations, and, therefore, have a negative
impact on the quality of life, safety, and health of the neighborhood where they
are located. The proposed ordinance is intended to eliminate nuisance-related
activities by providing a process for abatement and holding responsible the
property owner, tenants, and/or other relevant parties whose actions are
necessary to correct the problems. Correspondence included in Council
