The City of Covington has initiated legal proceedings against a corporate entity for alleged code enforcement violations, citing significant public health concerns. Residents have expressed grievances over various nuisances, including cat food discarded on properties and urine-soaked cat shelters abandoned in public areas. Complaints also mention individuals trespassing on restricted properties in connection with the corporate entity's activities.
Local dissatisfaction is particularly pronounced in the Peaselburg neighborhood, where a vacant residential property linked to the corporate entity remains in disrepair. Despite facing fines exceeding $8,000 due to previous infractions, there has been limited effort to improve the property's condition since its acquisition.
In response to these ongoing issues, the City has filed a civil lawsuit. The legal action aims to secure a judicial order preventing further breaches of Covington's health and safety regulations by the corporate entity. City officials emphasize their commitment to ensuring a clean and safe environment for all residents.
Furthermore, the City urges residents to report any similar violations, such as unauthorized disposal of cat food or trespassing, to Kenton County Animal Control or Covington's Code Enforcement Division.
"Every resident deserves to live in a clean, safe community—free from the nuisances these violations cause," stated City authorities.
