What standards are inspected to determine overcrowding?
General cleanliness, lack of security and safety standards, and negatively reflecting on the city’s appearance are some of the key points that will be inspected.
Other key major ‘signs’ that will be monitored include include disturbances, loud noise, and parking in undesignated spaces or prohibited parking spaces. Drying clothes on windows, balconies and railings, are also other aspects that will be inspected.
