Mr. Bob
DeCosmo was asked to attend this meeting and to point out the methods on how to
improve the neighborhood problems.
The arranging
of selecting three hot spots or streets in the area where problems exist. Since the group meets on a monthly basis he suggested
getting volunteers to meet more frequently in order to address any upcoming
problems with the selected streets.
He did
mentioned to contact the code enforcement of the city to bring attention to the owners
of the existing violations on their properties and if they ignore the notice
from the city then the city can send the necessary help to do the needed work
and place a lien on the property. The
Mortgage company [ Bank} will then be behind the city’s lien and will certainly
raise its concern with the owner immediately.
Unfortunately,
New Britain, does not have any grants available for the city property owners
however, banks and foundations could be approached to obtain the necessary funds.
Another area
of concern is the training of landlords on how to do the proper background checks of future tenants
in avoiding trouble tenants that would create havoc with the
peaceable quit in the area.

Let the city housing projects (city run slums) keep all the problem tenants.
