Housing Court Proposed to Handle Code Violations
A proposed village housing court would add housing cases to the monthly parking court on the second Saturday. Hearing Officer Bob Clifford would preside over hearings to confirm violations, hear testimony, and accept evidence. Fines would range from 100 to 500 dollars, with dismissal if violations aren’t proven. The aim is to keep properties well maintained and aesthetically pleasing, expediting corrections over penalties. If violators fail to appear, defaults are entered and no continuances are allowed.
