Complaints/Comments/Questions
Nuisance residents & poor property maintenance in rental housing
Investors buying up houses?
Section 8 vouchers are good anywhere in US of owner is willing. Owner subject to additional inspections.
Section 8 % in township is not more than most other places. 14,000 residents in Township; about 960 are Section 8 (7%). 25% if Galbraith Pte. is on rent subsidy (not Section 8).
Issue is usually not property maintenance with Section 8, but residents (Chief Heimpold)
Wish for more active monitoring of property maintenance violations on regular basis.
Township did an A-B-C-D rating of housing overall when property maintenance implemented.
You have to report to Township for them to do something. Telephone or website report.
Fear of retaliation. Can remain anonymous.
69 nuisance resolutions at yesterday’s Township meeting
Nuisance complaints take month minimum because of state law.
What about internet service & recycling mentioned on questionnaire?
Internet may be possible at perhaps $20/month
Recycling probably won’t work at any significant savings
St. X traffic in the morning is a big headache
Increased use of North Bend if close I-75 exits?
Parks
Paul property est. $3-5 M to develop into fields by Ham. Co. Parks. Even cooperative effort is probably not enough.
No money!
