Hutchinson landlords: City’s response to building-code violations goes too far

Some landlords in Hutchinson say it’s time for an end to what they say is the city’s overbearing enforcement of building code violations.
The city says the program in place is meant to keep tenants safe and rental properties maintained. Wednesday, Eyewitness News spoke with landlords on and off camera about why they say something needs to change.
“It’s all treated like a criminal matter,” Hutchinson rental property owner Robin Jackson says. “I think that’s a problem. I think that causes a lot of antagonism.”
