Athens landlord questions housing code and seeks fee refunds
Landlord Joe Sabino demands the city return inspection fees arguing the housing code conflicts with the Ohio Building Code. He claims state rules apply to apartments with more than three units and that the city lacks authority to enforce them. City Law Director Garry Hunter will review the code and respond outlining Sabino's arguments. He also questions a water regulation assigning delinquent charges to owners of rental properties with multiple tenants on one meter.

City seeks new trial over $18,000 sidewalk injury verdict
City law director Garry Hunter asks Common Pleas Court Judge Lowell Howard to set aside the Athens verdict awarding $18,000 to Mary Larch for a fall on a deteriorated sidewalk in front of West State Street cemetery. The jury found city fault for maintenance but also partial fault by Larch for not reporting the condition. Larch, 69, injured in 1974, originally sought $100,000. Hunter requests a new trial if the verdict stands.
