Port Arthur City Council has unanimously approved a new ordinance enforcing minimum property standards for housing. This comes after weeks of complaints from residents at the Prince Hall Apartments, who told 12News they were dealing with issues like no hot water, mold, and lack of central air and heat. Mayor Charlotte Moses said she personally visited one of the units at the center of the concerns. Under the new ordinance, property owners could face fines of up to $2,000 per day for violations.
