Prince George’s County Council passes a bill requiring landlords of senior housing and multi-unit buildings to have working security cameras.
Prince George's County Council member Wala Blegay speaks during a weekly session on Feb. 14. Owners of high-occupancy buildings or age-restricted senior residences will be required to establish video surveillance of properties under a bill the Prince George’s County Council passed Tuesday, billed by proponents as an attempt to boost resident safety amid rising crime.
The effort, led by Council member Wala Blegay , builds on previous legislation that required landlords to keep tenants reasonably safe, but did not detail how that should occur. Council members Mel Franklin and Sydney J. Harrison abstained on Tuesday, citing concerns over costs and efficacy.
The bill defines a high-occupancy dwelling facility as “any apartment building or group of buildings on the same parcel, lot, tract, block of land, or group of buildings” with the same name comprising more than 100 units with one or more owners in common.
