KPT To Hire More Code Enforcement Officers

And the city of Kingsport is hiring more inspectors for code enforcement. The new inspectors will be tasked with addressing dilapidated structures and properties in the downtown area. In a prepared statement, the city says two property maintenance and housing inspectors will join the city. A recent study of the Lynn Garden area found more than 130 code violations, including deteriorating structures, tall grass and weeds, and junk cars on people’s property.
