Menino: Fall cleanup campaign aimed at students

TownOnline.com - Opinion & Letters: Menino: Fall cleanup campaign aimed at students

Last Thursday, I kicked off Student Turnover Campaign 2006 by accompanying city inspectors and code enforcement officers on a walkthrough of Allston and Brighton, neighborhoods heavily populated with college students. Hoping to ease stress placed upon neighborhoods with a large number of students living off campus, I directed all enforcement and regulatory city agencies such as Inspectional Services, Public Works, my Office of Neighborhood Services and the Transportation Department to develop a contingency plan that will provide additional assistance and extra resources during the long weekend...
As a result of Student Turnover Campaign, inspectors conducted roughly 200 inspections resulting in the issuance of 65 violations; 115 pieces of discarded furniture tagged and removed from sidewalks; 72 trash and parking violations; and 75 tickets for improper storage/placement of trash.
