Landlords with problematic properties will be held accountable for improvements â?? or face penalties â?? in an ordinance passed by the Madison City Council early Wednesday in an 18-2 vote.
The chronic nuisance abatement ordinance will identify addresses where police are often needed and hold landlords responsible for an improvement plan. The city could penalize landlords who fail to submit a plan or do not make an effort to end the nuisance.
