Planning committee to review and revise proactive rental inspection ordinance after public feedback

The Binghamton Planning Committee will meet tomorrow at 11 a.m. in the Work Session Room to continue reviewing a proposed proactive rental housing inspection ordinance, Council Member (speaker) said. The meeting will be streamed and open to attendees.

Committee members said they received substantial internal and external feedback, including from property owners, tenants and the recent town hall, and will focus the meeting on incorporating that feedback into revisions of the legislation. The committee also intends to discuss a date and format for a second town hall to maintain a community-driven process.

Council members reminded the public that the planning committee meeting is the place to review changes to the draft ordinance and that members of the public may attend and view the streamed session. No vote on the ordinance was taken at the council meeting; the next planning committee meeting will consider amended language and community input.
