Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 29, 2009 Page 2 Neighborhood Enhancement Project, to encourage and motivate all residents and property owners to be attentive to the upkeep, maintenance and general appear- ance of their properties. Ms. Berry noted the areas of improvement in the com- munity already being evidenced. b. Riaz and Katherine Hussain, 1901 Lexington Avenue N Mr. Hussain expressed confusion related to a previous resolution passed by the City Council, prior to his purchase of the property, and enforcement by staff of parking issues.
