Charleston's Livability Court
21 January 2002 - 9:00am
Charleston, for years rated one of America's best-mannered cities, has a new court to ensure it.
The city began a bimonthly "livability court" on Monday to hear cases dealing with such common irritations as barking dogs and trash-strewn yards. Eighty cases are expected each month. "These issues can substantially affect the quality of life in our neighborhoods," Mayor Joseph P. Riley Jr. said. The court also will consider violations of tourism ordinances, such as companies conducting tours after hours or in unauthorized neighborhoods.
