Any and all records from the past two years (October 2021-October 2023) regarding your nuisance property ordinance that will be referred to as "ordinance" in this request but could be known (but not limited to) as "Chronic Nuisance Properties" as described in Section 16-22 of Providence's city code.
Please provide any and all written records (including but not limited to hard-copy documents, memos, emails, word processor documents, PDF documents, PowerPoint files, images files, video files etc.) regarding the Ordinance including but not limited to:
• evictions filed by property owners and number of tenants evicted as a result of the ordinance

• suspensions or revocation of a residential rental license, against property owners who fail to comply with the requirements of the ordinance
• police calls, reports, citations, or arrests, collected by the municipality police department for the purpose of enforcing the ordinance
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
