The City of Princeton is revamping its code enforcement in order to clean up the city of dilapidated houses and abandoned and junk vehicles.
Code Enforcement Officer Alan Getz says in a statement to Your News Edge that the city has enacted an ordinance Code Enforcement Program under the Kentucky League of Cities. He adds that the city has improved its Code Enforcement Program over the years and has dedicated time and resources to ensuring local citizens have a clean and safe city in which to live. He explains that his duty as a code enforcement officer is to understand the city ordinances adopted and to educate and enforce the ordinances within the public.
With this process, Getz states the first thing he wants to highlight is the code enforcement program is not a profit-driven program but intended to hold citizens accountable for their part as residents. He then explained the process of enforcing ordinances.
