Descrição
This is 442 Poplar St, a three family house with Section 8 tenants, and once again the landlord has NOT shoveled the sidewalk or even the stairs to the front door from snowfall that occurred FOUR days ago. This section of Poplar Street is a mess because of the absentee landlords who REFUSE to maintain their properties, causing pedestrians to walk in the middle of the street. This includes 436 Poplar St, the house next door, which is also un shoveled.
442: David & Jody Steinbach
436: Keith Macchiaverna
This is not acceptable; will the City please start fining these absentee and irresponsible landlords? I shoveled the walk in front of 444 Poplar and then 442 Poplar, but the Steinbachs and Mr. Macchiaverna need to do their job and maintain their properties. Thank you.

[This city could cut its property taxes immensely if city govt. enforced such fines: $100 per day for this one!] http://library.municode.com/showDocumentFrame.aspx?clientID=14668&jobId=179531&docID=1
