The ordinance is intended to be supplemental to other regulations <br /> At Large currently in place. <br /> Gavin Ferlic Several regulations were reviewed in developing the attached ordinance. For <br /> At Large example, in Boston "problem properties" are approached in a coordinated multi- <br /> department approach. Problem properties are listed on the Boston government <br /> Karen L. White website where a chart sets forth the name of the property owner, street address, <br /> At Large neighborhood and a summary of reported incidents. Each year an Annual Report <br /> is filed summarizing all problem properties. Additional regulations from <br /> Owatonna, Minnesota; New Bedford, Massachusetts; Minneapolis, Minnesota; <br /> and several cities in the State of Washington were also studied. The "best <br /> practices" were selected and incorporated into an ordinance which meets the <br /> needs of the City of,South Bend. <br />
