WORTHINGTON The city of Worthington will head back to the drawing board on its rental housing inspection, city council members decided Monday night.
Following staff recommendation, the council voted unanimously to suspend enforcement of the city’s current rental housing registration and inspection program due to, as Worthington City Administrator Steve Robinson explained Monday, “its ineffectiveness and the current public health crisis.” The action called on city staff to begin work on a new rental housing program that would “protect the health, safety and welfare of the city’s residents.”
