Property owners may face stricter regulation­s

Cobb property owners may bear more responsibi­lity for allowing criminal activities to take place on their properties. The Cobb County Board of Commission­ers voted recently to postpone action on a proposed public safety nuisance code.

This matter is expected to be considered during the commission­ers’ meeting at 9 a.m. Aug. 9 at 100 Cherokee St, second-floor BOC Room, Marietta.

Property owners may be required to rid their properties of prostituti­on, gambling and unlawful uses of controlled substances, alcoholic beverages and weapons. First, property owners would be allowed to stop the activity voluntaril­y within 30 days and with a county-approved abatement plan. If the property owners do not stop the criminal activity, the county attorney’s office may request that a court allow county officials to stop the activity.
