MARIETTA, OH Changes have just been made to Marietta City codified ordinances pertaining to the International Property Maintenance Code. That sounds really boring, but it isn t, fines have been doubled. What this means for you is if a neighbor reports your property to the city for being against code, you could see a city official knocking on your door asking you to fix it.

On Wednesday an affidavit was filed in Marietta Municipal Court representing 44 complainants, residents in Marietta’s Third Ward, who allege criminal behavior committed by the owner of 1099 Colegate Drive (the former location of North Hills School).
The affidavit alleges retaliation following the loss of a sale deal to Life and Purpose Behavioral Health for the former school site in 2020.
According to Municipal Judge Janet Dyar Welch’s order entry dated Wednesday and timestamped 9:36 a.m. by her clerk, the municipal court has accepted the citizen complaint for criminal charges “for probable cause review for a summons.”
