A new apartment association for the Jackson/Fillmore area will begin enforcing residential guidelines beginning Thursday. The 43 owners in the association will be required to follow the group’s rules to reduce blight by maintaining the common areas and lawns and keeping the alleys free of debris.

In addition, the City Council recently approved a rental rehabilitation program that offers loans for owners to spruce up their property. The city can provide qualifying applicants with loans of up to $15,000 per rental unit, up to a total of $120,000 per project. If the owner keeps up the property and rents to low-income residents, the city may forgive about 2% of the loan per year.
