Houston’s list of high-risk rental buildings identifies 11 complexes, but Councilwoman Tiffany Thomas says it lacks details renters need, ABC13 reports. The list includes citation and 311 complaint counts without clearly explaining violations, their dates or whether repairs were completed.

Thomas is seeking a dashboard with current information. Houston Public Works told the station it was looking into questions submitted Wednesday.

Lista de apartamentos de riesgo en Houston genera pedidos de transparencia

La lista de edificios de alquiler de alto riesgo de Houston identifica 11 complejos, pero la concejala Tiffany Thomas dice que faltan datos importantes para los inquilinos, según ABC13. Incluye cifras de infracciones y quejas al 311 sin aclarar los problemas, sus fechas o si fueron corregidos.

Thomas pide un tablero con información actualizada. Obras Públicas de Houston dijo al canal que estaba revisando las preguntas recibidas el miércoles.
