Sidewalk Enforcement Failures

Summary

Henry Cholewczynski says five rebuilt Allwood Place homes skipped required sidewalks, an asbestos-riddled demolition at 33 Phyllis Place left friable debris and an open pit, and nobody notified neighbors. Latona promised an ordinance change so only the council — not the city engineer — can waive sidewalks.
