SitemapA public meeting is scheduled at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Martin Luther Lutheran Church, 420 Clearmount Drive, to host Mark R. King for failing to maintain his properties to minimum property-code standard, failing to respond to tenant maintenance requests and tax delinquency in the city of Youngstown.
King is expected to sign a community agreement, drafted by the ACTION Housing Task Force, which sets dates for completion of nine strategies outlined in the agreement.
About 150 members of the community are expected to attend.
ACTION’s Housing Task Force is a group of residents and faith leaders from neighborhoods throughout Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley who are engaged in a campaign to address long-standing housing quality issues that negatively impact neighborhoods.
King was selected because of his tax delinquencies, large holdings of more than 150 properties, and based on complaints made by his tenants.
The Task Force will select the next landlord to hold accountable at the meeting. To read the full story from The Vindicator, click here.
