Cincinnati Seeks to Enforce Stricter Penalties for Landlords

Thousands in Cincinnati are filing complaints against unsafe and unhealthy living conditions.

A recent article uncovers the implications of illegal activity from these landlords and the effects on the families who live in their properties.

As was discovered in Cleveland with the recent lead poisoning epidemic in children living in substandard conditions, thousands in Cincinnati are filing complaints against unsafe and unhealthy living conditions.
