Danville inspection blitzes set to start

DANVILLE – By this time last year, the city's new neighborhood services coordinator had cited nearly 270 property violations as part of a new approach to cleaning up the city.

Now, with more than 600 violations and a year behind him, Tracy Stebbins will once again begin inspection blitzes to prepare for winter. The next one is scheduled for Thursday in an area north of Main Street, south of Fairchild Street and east of Griffin Street.
