Fight Blight with Project Slumlord

Fight Blight!  Tomorrow Feb 24 at 2:00 in Council Chambers

Friends and neighbors,

Project Slumlord is ready to change the rental property game in Buffalo.  The committee has formulated four resolutions to address the problem of slumlords.  The resolutions have already received Common Council support.

Below is a quick summary:

  • Work Smarter!  Release all city-owned data to the NYS Open Data portal for more cooperation between city agencies in fighting blight
  • Be Proactive!  Enforce laws that are currently on the books.
  • Plan for Success!  Fund professional development for our hard working inspectors to implement Strategic Codes Enforcement
  • Clear the Backlog!  Establish a second housing court to resolve cases that have been lingering for years
