The Fayette Board of Aldermen voted 4-2 Tuesday to keep a controversial ordinance. The ordinance sets minimum standards for property maintenance and requires owners to finance city inspections to ensure compliance with these requirements. The board reconsidered the ordinance after landlords voiced concerns at an Oct. 21 hearing that the law was too vaguely worded.
