Neighborhood in turmoil over illegal rental conversions
During a recent government meeting, community member Margaret All raised concerns about a property on Belford Drive that has allegedly been converted from a single-family home into a multi-family dwelling. All, a resident of the neighborhood, expressed frustration over the situation, noting that the property has become a source of ongoing issues, including frequent police visits and unsightly conditions.

All described the property as having two separate addresses and being occupied by multiple tenants, which she believes violates zoning regulations intended for single-family homes. She highlighted the negative impact this has had on the neighborhood, including an influx of transient residents and a decline in property aesthetics, likening the situation to a scene from the television show \"Sanford and Son.\"

City Attorney Hoffman responded to All's concerns, indicating that the situation warrants further investigation to determine if the property is indeed in violation of zoning laws. He noted that if the home was originally designated as a single-family residence, the existence of two dwelling units could constitute a violation, unless one unit is classified as an accessory dwelling.

All emphasized the urgency of the matter, stating that she has been compelled to contact code enforcement regularly due to the deteriorating conditions at the property. The discussion concluded with a commitment from city officials to look into the issue further, reflecting the community's ongoing concerns about property management and zoning enforcement.
