Enforcement? What's That?








The Executive Apartments at 1020 9th Avenue have always been poorly maintained, as it relates to yard trash and litter. The front yard of these buildings is always full of litter. As if that isn't bad enough - these photos show their dumpster and a dump that has been started right in the very middle of their alley! According to neighbors, the wet and smelly carpet has been there for months. Hello? Can anyone say "enforcement"? What's that? When will landlords be held responsible for furnishing adequate trash receptacles for their tenants? When will the City of Huntington start fining property owners who violate its ordinances? When will the City's enforcement activities be publicized as a warning that violators will be prosecuted and fined?
