Wilkes-Barre Employees Can Shut Down Nuisance Properties

Wilkes-Barre has a new law that lets city employees shut down rental properties that are deemed nuisances.

The law lets city employees kick out tenants if there are three or more police reports at a property within six months. Landlords must pay any outstanding fines and get buildings inspected before anyone can move back in.

Mayor Tom Leighton says neighbors were grateful after the first apartment house was shut down under the new law Monday.
