There were 32 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question: “Should Conway be more aggressive in bringing old hotels into compliance, plus mandate fire and safety inspections for private homes.”
I think sprinkler systems are a must. When are you going to start doing inspections on apartments and places that are housing almost homeless people in the valley? When are you going to do inspections of Airbnbs is to make sure they have safety routes and the proper everything. When are you going to paint the sidewalks? Don’t wait until the end of July. And when are you going to put out garbage cans? Let’s get it together here folks in the valley. I know multiple families that had to leave their homes that they’ve had for years as good tenants because they’re turning them into Airbnbs or selling them. There’s no workers. Come on, let’s get it together, kids.
