City of Rochester
News Release
(Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2018) – The City of Rochester is
seeking volunteers to serve on the new Nuisance Advisory Board (NAB), which
will provide citizen guidance to the administration of the Nuisance Abatement
Program.
Under the program, a business or property in the city may
receive points for violations that constitute a public nuisance. Failure to
correct nuisance activity after exceeding a point threshold may result in the
closure of a business or property. This NAB will oversees a review procedure
for property owners to appeal any points assigned to their properties.
City Council has approved many changes to the Nuisance
Abatement Law, including the establishment of the NAB.
The nine-member board will include one business owner and
one resident from each of the Northeast, Northwest, East, and South Districts
and one resident from the Center City. They will meet monthly to review cases
submitted by the NSC.
More information about the board and applications for
membership can be found at www.cityofrochester.gov/nuisancepointsystem/All applications and accompanying documentation must be submitted by August 17,
2018 to:
