Towson activist pushes for code enforcement

As university students flood Towson for the fall semester starting Monday, community activists are renewing their calls for tighter regulations on apartment occupancy and more code inspectors to enforce other laws.

Baltimore County officials this week are meeting with community and college leaders to request their help in enforcing the county?s cap of two unrelated occupants per boarding house. The law exempts apartment buildings, so officials are asking managers to control the number of students in units near colleges, according to a county-issued news release.
