Many of the Chicago suburban communities have become proactive and joined Crime Free Rental Associations. Its nice to be close to Chicago for the fun things but not so nice when communities in the suburban and metro area decide to set down strict rules enforced by the law and we find the people moving from there to here and yes it is happening slowly but surely.

Absolutely, especially in this day and age with so much drugs and alcohol. It would keep the community clean and discourage drug dealers or users from moving into town. It would also make landlords more responsible for upkeep on their rentals thus avoiding the need to involve the police.
Last council meeting Ald.Potthoff discussed a review of the current ordinance and requested the Alderman to discuss at the next meeting.
To those who are interested a "Public Notice" agenda has been posted regarding a conference call with Moodys regarding bond ratings. It is to be held at 2:30 on Wed. the 29th at city hall.
Why doesn't anyone inspect rental properties here? When I lived in Arlington Heights is was bi-annualy inside and outside inspection. They forced the landlords to fix leaky faucets, cracked driveways, etc.
According to the News Tribune La Salle awarded Len Trovero their street project. Peru has also awarded Len Trovero their street project. The thing I found interesting was that according to La Salle's city engineer they will get roughly 3 miles of road paved at a cost of $502,278.05. According to the minutes of Peru's 6-1-11 council meeting the Peru's mayor stated that we would get roughly 2 miles of road done at a cost of $884,000. Why a difference of over $300,000 for less road?

Maybe there are landlords working at city hall or they have friends that have rental properties and as a result it has never been brought up before the last city council meeting. I am hopeful they will wisely introduce some type of ordinances to take care of the increasing problem.
Sometimes a head in the sand attitude keeps people from seeing the changes taking place in the city.
Lois, could you please make 4:20PM's comment a heading? I believe it is worth discussing.
