Wednesday, May 24, 2017 - The city can fine you for not shoveling your sidewalk or for dumping bulk trash outside your property. But until now, there has been little it can do to enforce those fines.
That’s about to change, now that the city has finally found a qualified person willing to volunteer time to adjudicate appeals to fines.
Neighborhood groups have been waiting for that change and pushing for help in tackling illegal dumping and other public-space violations.
