BOSTON- September 1,
2021 - Mayor Kim Janey along with representatives from several city
agencies today greeted college and university students moving into Boston,
and helped ensure they have a smooth transition into their new homes. The
City’s Inspectional Services, Transportation, Mayor's Office of
Neighborhood Services, Fire, Police and Public Works departments are
conducting housing inspections (upon request), trash inspections, and
distributing informational brochures in neighborhoods with large student
populations. Mayor Janey and other City officials conducted a
walkthrough at 12:00pm beginning at 20 Linden St. in Allston and proceeded
to Pratt and other neighboring streets.
The Inspectional
Services Department (ISD) have up to 50 inspectors canvassing areas heavily
populated with students including: Allston, Brighton, Fenway, Mission
Hill, South Boston, Back Bay and the North End. Inspectors will visit
addresses with a history of violations, as well as units identified through
random selection. They will conduct on-the-spot inspections upon request,
and confirm that units are registered with the City of Boston in compliance
with the City's Rental Units Ordinance, which requires that all private rental
units are registered annually.
“Boston is proudly
home to colleges and universities that attract students from all over the
world,” said Mayor Janey. “For those students living off campus in our
city, we work to ensure they have safe housing, are informed about services
the City provides and understand how to be good
neighbors.”
City officials
would like to remind students to avoid used furniture, and to notify their
landlord immediately in the event of a suspected infestation. The Code
Enforcement Division of PWD is issuing citations for trash violations,
including improperly placed trash, and trash placed on the curb on the incorrect
trash day. Trash trucks are circulating through key student move-in
neighborhoods to collect discarded items that have been placed on the curb.
New residents can visit boston.gov/trash-day to find their trash and recycling dates. In addition, information pertaining to rodent control can be found on our Rodent Control website.
Representatives
from the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services will be staffing tents at
several locations to answer questions about city services and to distribute
informational handouts, including at:
·
Speedway,
219 Cambridge St. in Brighton
·
Whole
