LYNN – City Councilors approved two proposals Tuesday night targeting residential buildings with chronic city code violations and problem tenants.Under a state law councilors voted 11-0 to adopt, owners who ignore fines for violating city trash disposal, snow shoveling and other city ordinances could have a lien attached to their property if fines assessed by the city total over $500.Attaching a lien allows the city to recover fine amounts when a building is sold.Twenty local building owners owe $114,000 in past due litter, snow clearing and weed control violations with Weston resident Ping Zou last month topping a list of scofflaw landlords owing the city money.Zou, according to March city records, owes $29,400 in fines for violations logged by city inspectors at 444 Essex St., 53 Arlington St. and 1-2 Haines Terrace. The fines for failure to remove snow from sidewalks and other violations date back to 2001.Another owner, Stephen Yee of Aborn Place, owes $6,250 in violations and fines on 46 Jackson St., including overgrown weeds.Councilors spearheaded by Ward 3 Councilor Darren Cyr and Councilor at large Paul Crowley tried without success to get legislative approval for a local lien attachment law five years ago.Councilors on Tuesday also voted 11-0 to allow landlords to evict or take other action against nuisance tenants. A landlord would face a $300 a day fine for ignoring a letter from the city solicitor and police chief ordering the building owner to evict a tenant who breaks the law.Ward 6 Councilor Peter Capano pushed for the proposal’s passage after hearing West Lynn neighbors complain about youth gangs living in buildings on their streets.”We addressing nuisance properties including ones where we can’t get a hold of the landlord,” Capano said.The lien and problem tenant proposals go back to the council in 60 days for permanent adoption votes.Councilors also voted 11-0 to establish a Disability Commission with nine members named by Mayor Judith Flanagan Kennedy, including five with disabilities. The commission will advise city officials on state and federal disability laws and provide information and referrals to individuals.The council also adopted a proposal banning the sale of drug paraphernalia in the city. Assistant City Solicitor Richard Vitali said a list of banned items will be drawn up and distributed to stores.
