Building and Housing Director Sally Martin vows big change.
Sally Martin O'Toole, the director of Building & Housing, at a lead prosecution press conference in September. She spoke briefly about Residents First, a 50-page overhaul of housing code."It will make the bad actors want to leave—and that's fine," she said."We're fine with them going away.", Building & Housing Director Sally Martin kickstarted a Zoom forum on legislation that could, if passed, be the meatiest overhaul on housing since the Great Recession.
Such proposed legislation, all 50 pages of it, had been tinkered with and edited by 19 people—members of Council, city attorneys, B&H folk and five members of the Vacant & Abandoned Property Council. Its heat is best contained in its title: Residents First. "It's a lot, but we feel we've hit a sweet spot with what we're proposing here," Martin said during the two-hour Zoom conference. As for the local agent-in-charge rule, Martin was probably the most adamant:"It's nothing new," she added."It's done in the suburbs. It's a game changer: We have a human being we can take to court."
Martin's excitement, a kind of careerist joy that stems from her time fighting shoddy property managers in South Euclid, may make the 50 pages of code overhaul seem like a kind of housing Magna Carta. After all, nearly half of all East Side homes, according to a 2021 survey, were sold to absentee landlords.
