To Palmer Harvey, New York state officials are disgraceful for failing to stop evictions before a federal moratorium expires.

Superior won’t be taking legal action against a Billings Park woman to clean up her property after reaching an agreement to bring the property in compliance with city code.
If the property is maintained in compliance with city code for a year, the city would seek to waive fines totally more than $1,900 for citations issued.
