Houston city leaders are considering stricter oversight and an inspection ordinance for apartment complexes to improve safety and living conditions, prompted by tenant complaints of crime and neglected maintenance. District F, including Ashford Court Apartments, experiences high police call volumes, while concerns mount over absentee ownership slowing accountability. The proposed ordinance aims to establish formal inspections, focusing on problematic properties, yet emphasizes the need for real enforcement to ensure compliance.
