The city plans on accessing $150 penalties to those 46 who did not respond to the city’s initial notice for failing to register by the June 30 deadline, said Carl Enterman, West Carrollton’s chief code enforcement officer.

The city adopted the rental inspection program late last year as a way of maintaining and boosting housing stock.
