The purpose of this non partisan committee is to study housing and overcrowding. Members will become familiar with land use and zoning, applicable laws and regulations and the current practice in the Village of Port Chester with respect to permits and fees, inspections and fines. Members will examine ways in which similar communities handle such housing issues, availability and accountability among landlords and services to help those individuals displaced from overcrowding and unsafe housing.
The Housing Committee shall be comprised of residents, landlords and tenants, Police and Fire personnel, an attorney and personnel with knowledge of local zoning codes and the NYS Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code.
