The Syracuse Common Council on Monday approved amendments to the city’s Nuisance Abatement General Ordinance that increase fines for property violations.
Additionally, the city can now take action on more types of infractions, including firearms, fireworks, and narcotics activity.
In a statement, Mayor Ben Walsh applauded the council’s approval and said the changes strengthen the city’s ability, “to seek injunctive relief to disrupt threats to safety and quality of life and to better protect victims of crimes.”
