1. As for Section 8 Landlords - (or any landlords) - since I am one in Ocean Twp, I had "regular" tenants for 17-20 years - until I wound up with 4 dead beats at one time. I slowly accepted Section 8 or "Housing Voucher" tenants. Out of my 7, 5 are covered by the state/county. I guess I am lucky AND I am concerned about my neighbors - I have all "good" tenants - no police calls etc - they pick up their garbage and bug me if something is wrong.
2. Section 8 housing should be having TWO inspections - one from the program and one from the towen when they issue a CO. Section 8 housing is supposed to get inspected EVERY YEAR - prior to a lease being renewed by the program. They are supposed to abide by the HQS (Housing Quality Standards) see my site: http://www.rentlaw.com/section8/hqs.htm These are HUD standards. 3. Ocean Twp - we already have a very integrated school district and we ain't gettin any funding from the state. I told one of the admin we SHOULD become an ABBOTT District. I'll stop the rant now - we pay about 93% of our school budget vs AP residents paying 6% of the operating budget for their school system. 4. CAMERAS. not on tough spots - but scattered around town. 5. Now with my 2 kids both working on the BW I reminded them NOT to leave alone. They had a buddy system or the PD was around to watch them get back to their cars since they try to park WEST of Kingsley or pay for the lots. They PD has been been good 6. CODE ENFORCEMENT - start by eliminating hazards like the empty building on 8th and Kingsley - half boarded, half open windows - same on 1st. 2nd, 4th and haul all the building materials out west there is no immediate need. Enjoy another hot day. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
