No rental occupancy enforcement by city 1 rating By Anonymous ( Mar 17, 2021) The policy of number of occupants allowed in single family dwelling rentals is part of the cities agenda ;
However, the city itself while having such agenda does nothing to enforce
Over occupancy rentals .
My question for the city officials is this , do you think ...Read More over occupancy in a rental property adds to the city values , or detracts from ?
After personally Watching drug activity in such over occupancy rentals rentals , i suggest you enforce
Your code you thus far don't on your city website .
Thank you city officials ! Read Less
It is bad. 1 rating By Kelsey T ( May 07, 2018) This used to be a nice place 30 years ago. Now, I see litter everywhere, they couldn't keep a mall open because of all the shoplifting (I used to work at Brookdale.) There used to be stores like St. Paul Book + Stationery, they've all been replaced by dingy nail salons and fast ...Read More food places. The bus transit station is filthy and full of loud-mouthed, rude kids, many of whom ask you for money and try to intimidate you when you say no. It's just gross and there is no dignity to this place any more. There are a few niches of good places-- the Brookdale library is nice (for now.) There are a handful of nice stores like TJ MAXX. There is a nice bike and walking trail system. There are some good people here, even some of the youth are polite and friendly. But overall it's run-down and sad, with folks who have no idea how to be good neighbors. Read Less
