If the violations aren't corrected in a certain amount of time, the building is closed down and the dealers are run out of their drug houses. The program started with one building inspector. Because of its success all three area police stations now have their own building inspectors assigned to them, creating an even better working relationship between the two governmental entities. An outgrowth of this cooperation is the overall increase in public safety for citizens involved in tenant-landlord relationships. This effort is critical to the Mayor's neighborhood stabilization efforts.
Inspectors are more aware of residents' needs and it has proven to be beneficial for all involved.
