The ACTION Housing Task Force is making it clear -- from now on, it will hold landlords accountable for problem properties in the City of Youngstown, even if it means naming names.

The city of Youngstown is turning up the heat on problem landlords, and one local group is targeting the worst offenders.

More than 100 people gathered Tuesday night to see one of the city’s largest landlords held accountable for money he owes the city and to determine which landlord they’d target next.

Leaders from the Mahoning County Land Bank and the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation say the recent celebration of YNDC’s 100th vacant home renovation demonstrates the power of collaboration.
