At the Springfield Township Administration Complex
(Allen Paul Room)
9150 Winton Road


(Springfield Township, Hamilton County, Ohio, October 6, 2010) The Springfield Township Board of Trustees will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, October 12, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. in the in the Administration Building, 9150 Winton Road on a proposed resolution amending the Township's Property Maintenance Code to include interior maintenance regulations for rental properties. The proposed interior regulations, if adopted, will only apply to single family and duplex residential rental structures and the existing premises on which those structures are located.


The rental inspection program is in response to the growing concern regarding the increase of rental properties in the Township and absentee landlords. If adopted, landlords will be held responsible for basic health and safety standards on their properties and would be required to have annual interior inspections conducted to ensure compliance with the interior maintenance standards.



Residents attending the public hearing will be permitted to address the Board of Trustees in support or opposition of the proposed amendments.

The Board of Trustees regular meeting will be held at the conclusion of the public hearing.

The public hearing and the meeting will be aired live on Waycross Public Access, Channel 23.
