Update code enforcement law to strengthen public nuisance abatement
<UNKNOWN>
In Plain English
The city modified its code enforcement rules to give officials more tools for handling public nuisances like abandoned buildings, overgrown lots, or illegal dumping. The changes affect how the city can require property owners to fix problems that impact neighborhoods. If violations continue, the city gains additional enforcement options to protect public health and safety.
