Local Colleges to Meet with Civic to Discuss Renters

Representatives from the City of Philadelphia as well as local universities will be on hand to discuss strategies to deal with college students living in the neighborhood.

Representatives from the city's License and Inspection Department as well as Philadelphia University and St. Joseph's University will attend next Thursday's Central Roxborough Civic Association meeting to discuss how residents can work with city agencies and universities if they're having trouble with their neighbors.

License and Inspections will answer question about the city's regulations when it comes to rental properties, and what to do if you think your neighbor is breaking the rules.

University representatives will discuss the policies they have put in place to deal with problem students living in the neighborhoods.

Central Roxborough is hosting the meeting, but the entire community is encouraged to attend.

The meeting will take place on Thursday, Feb. 6, at 7:30 p.m. at Leverington Presbyterian located at 6301 Ridge Ave. in Roxborough.
