Two violations city landlords are increasingly being cited for involve failure to remove chipped and peeling paint from properties and to allow inspectors to inspect rental properties. This reflects a commitment Mayor Rick Gray's administration has made to "improving the quality of life in all neighborhoods of the city," said Randy Patterson, city director of economic development and neighborhood revitalization.
