Create comprehensive program to recover city costs for nuisance cleanup
In Plain English
The city currently pays all costs when it cleans up code violations like abandoned buildings, illegal dumping, or overgrown properties. This new law lets the city bill property owners for cleanup expenses including staff time, equipment, and contractor fees. If approved, violators pay the full cost instead of taxpayers covering these expenses.
