Task Force Promises to Hold Youngstown's Problem Landlords Accountable - WKBN

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.

Task force members made the commitment Tuesday evening before a crowded room of 175 people who came to hear about the problem landlords.

The first landlord they heard about was Mark King.

"Mr. King is the first landlord that our task force identified as a problem landlord," Frank Elling said.

King owns about 150 houses throughout Youngstown, including some on Volney Road and Republic Avenue. To read the full story and watch the video from WKBN, click here.
