HUNTINGTON BEACH
The City Council received a staff report last week citing a need for a neighborhood preservation program. City Administrator Ray Silver’s report stated that the city received more than 6,000 complaints regarding property maintenance issues and housing code violations in 1998 and that the figure has grown 20% over a five-year period.
The program is designed to help “good” landlords and tenants maintain their property while discouraging “bad” landlords and tenants from staying in the city, Silver told the council Aug. 16. The report recommends that the council hire a private firm to create the program, which is expected to cost $58,900.
