Citizens Water and Sewer Advisory Board — July 20, 2026
The board is weighing whether to bill landlords instead of tenants for water leaks and how to make sure repairs actually get fixed. Rules could count leaks per property or per person, with limits per year.
Property Maintenance Review Board — July 9, 2026
Four Huber Heights homes were declared nuisances for exterior deterioration, fallen fencing, and outdoor storage of junk. The city will hire contractors to fix the problems and send the bills to the owners. One owner got a 30-day extension to clean up on his own.
Council Work Session — July 7, 2026
Code violation cases dropped from 23 in early 2025 to just 8 in early 2026, and most property owners fix problems before enforcement. The board chair credits the process with protecting neighborhood appearance and safety.
Property Maintenance Review Board — June 11, 2026
Six property owners were scheduled to answer alleged violations of the Property Maintenance Code, but the board couldn't reach a quorum. All cases now wait until the July 9 meeting, delaying resolution for both the owners and any neighbors affected by the properties.
Property Maintenance Review Board — May 19, 2026
A neighbor of 20-plus years described a textbook nuisance property: a refrigerator and box spring in the backyard for three years, mosquito-breeding kiddie pools, and weeds taller than the fence. Code enforcement will now inspect the backyard with the neighbor's help and could bring the owner back before the board in July.
