QUOTE
A divided City Council is heading to a showdown on a controversial ordinance that would require inspections of rental properties every three years.

The council is set to consider the ordinance at its meeting next week.

Council members Paul Przybylinski, Tracie Tillman and Gene Simmons voiced their opposition to the proposed ordinance.

“This is to protect our tenants,” said Councilwoman Dalia Zygas, D-at large, who is the ordinance’s sponsor. “This is to make sure that all living units meet minimum living standards, and most of the landlords will have no trouble with this.”

However, the council heard from a string of landlords upset with the proposal.
