Wow you really mean they have lead in the houses they rent? All this time I thought they were gold with what some of them charge and how well they keep them up.I know right know that Alan Watson has a place on Union St. almost on the corner of Main st. that he is improperly removing the siding and has scraped the paint from the building without any care for anyone that lives in the building or the neighbors.They cracked down on Peter Cross for the lead issues but this guy is guy flaunts what he is doing and gets away with adding to the lead problems.

hear hear.

I had issues with a slumlord when I first moved to Maine; I called the Code Enforcement office, they came up with 25 pages of items for him to fix, not only in our apartment, but the others in the building as well (water would leak into a light fixture on the ceiling in our living room, when it rained heavily, water would leak through the hole in the wooden gutters into our living room window, mold/mildew wouldn't go away , etc)

Thankfully we didn't stay there long, but Code Enforcement doesn't really do anything to slumlords. They get an inordinate number of second chances, which are generally ignored. There's no accountability on the part of the department or the landlord, so tenants are left at their mercy with no recourse.

Daily Horoscope for December 31

Libra

If you live with other people you have to resign yourself to the fact that you all want to do different things today. The more you urge togetherness, the more everyone will be determined under tonight's Full Moon to do their own thing even if it creates problems. Try to play this down as much as possible because it's also a lunar eclipse and getting angry won't solve anything; it may even make the situation worse. Maybe this is a chance for you to do what you want for a change, too? Anyway, enjoy yourself tonight, Libra because you deserve it!
