I've had great success with the program, especially with absentee landlords. They've hired landscapers and are really keeping their properties clean. |
Of the 200 notices of violations sent out since May 2005, only 20 have received citations. The rest complied. |
The problem was some people knew the process. When they'd get the courtesy notice, they'd know they had more notices coming and more time. Now, I include a flier with the initial notice that states how the program works, the reasons it was started and that this would be the one and only warning. |
