Last year the Porterdale council passed tough improvements to its building code in order to go after landlords who do not keep their properties up.

Monday the city took “caretaker” Curtis Jackson to court and cited him with 10 citations for property located on Spruce Street in Porterdale, according to our article in Wednesday’s edition of The News.
