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.
