    This document contains written responses from City of Scranton administration to questions raised by Council President Tom Schuster at a June 16, 2026 council meeting. Regarding the problem property at 1708 Wayne Avenue, the city advised the homeowner it could be designated a nuisance based on police call volume, with tenants currently under eviction pending appeal; a rental inspection was begun on April 10 but the second reinspection remains unscheduled and the property has not yet passed. Police Department records show approximately eleven incidents at the property since January 1, 2026, while the Fire Department responded twice in 2026 for basement flooding. The administration clarified that the pending RFP being prepared is separate from the EMS Feasibility Study conducted by Fitch & Associates, which evaluated the current EMS system and made recommendations based on response performance and financial impact.

    This document records responses from City of Scranton administration to questions posed by council members during a May 5, 2026 meeting, prepared on May 11, 2026. Council President Tom Schuster inquired about a $58,000 line item increase plus an additional $5,000 increase for St. Cats & Dogs in the 2026 budget, requesting a progress report and status update on the organization's usage of the Ash Street property; the City stated it has requested an update from St. Cats & Dogs. Schuster also asked about the Davis Street Apartment project on the 3100 Block of Cedar Avenue, which holds a five-year planning commission approval; the city clarified that no permits or plans have been submitted and the project cannot move forward without passage of a one-way ordinance that the planning commission made a condition of approval. Council member Dr. Jessica Rothchild raised concerns about tree cutting on private property in the Upper East Mountain area and received clarification that the Shade Tree Commission only regulates city rights-of-way and city-owned properties, with no prohibition on private owners removing trees from their own property. Dr. Rothchild also commended the Robinson Park project and raised two maintenance issues: gravel from a drain area being kicked onto the playground equipment, and worn ground beneath swings creating a safety hazard.

  • Amend Chronic Nuisance Property Code to address human trafficking, gun violence, and administrative challenges (amend Code Chapter 14B.60)

    Jan 27, 2026

    ·Portland, OR
    Proposal

    On January 27, 2026, Portland City Council amended Chapter 14B.60 of the Chronic Nuisance Property Code to address evolving public safety challenges, marking the first substantive update since 1997. The amendments expand the definition of nuisance activities to specifically include human trafficking and gun violence, extend the documentation timeframe from 30 to 90 days to address administrative resource constraints, and shift administrative responsibilities from the Chief of Police to the City Administrator. The ordinance acknowledges that crime patterns and nuisance activities have evolved significantly since the code's original adoption and that a narrower definition prevented the city from effectively addressing properties that common sense would identify as chronic nuisances.
