City Sweep

Hi Joe:

Didn't know if you knew Mayor Ireton has commandeered the police, fire, ambulance and NSCC to sweep the North Camden Area this week from Monday- Thursday.  The area includes Waverly through Riverside, North Camden through South Blvd.  No public notice was put in the paper.  No notices  or letters to landlords, property managers or homeowners were sent as a courtesy.  

This is a gotcha game to drum up as many violation numbers as they can identify on rental properties. Last time they wrote up items such as a gum wrapper on the ground, leaves in the gutters in November and small amounts of mildew on siding in order to artificially inflate their numbers to make the case that all landlords are slumlords.  Additionally, if you did not let them in,  NSCC

walked around your property and opened sheds and basement doors to inspect the interior.  The government is technically not allowed to enter a property unannounced without a warrant which requires probable cause.

Salisbury is now Government Occupied Territory.

What is happening in Wicomico county? I heard yesterday that our new States Attorney had fired two more senior members of the staff. No one left with experience except for the loser of the Wicomico election and Worcester county elections.

Call the cops, video tape them and take them to court.

Is this sweep just for rentals, or can they fine home owners as well?

They have nailed a couple of homeowners according to my VERY reliable source.
