1.) Unsure as to the actual owner(s). However, the property is currently managed by Rocket City Property Management (RCPM) based out of Huntsville.
ReplyDelete2.) Until recently (enacted last week) the City did not have an effective ordinance that allowed for the proper enforcement of noted vehicles and trailers, etc.
3.) Yes, the City of Sheffield does have a new Code Enforcement Officer...and he's a fantastic guy and will continue doing a fantastic job.
Thank you for this. We'll make sure Mr. Redmon sees it.
