Renewed attention to making Hawai`i neighborhoods safer and healthier brought Lt. Governor Aiona together with rental property owners on Tuesday in Honolulu as part of a statewide training seminar program.
Lt. Governor Aiona greets public and private partners to help keep neighborhoods safe.
“This program is part of a collaborative and proactive effort to stop illegal drug activities and other criminal activities that threaten the health, safety and welfare of our communities,” Lt. Governor Aiona said.
The new partnership includes Attorney General Mark Bennett, Department of Health Director Chiyome Fukino, M.D., Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney Peter Carlisle, Hawai‘i Prosecuting Attorney Jay Kimura and Hawai‘i Association of Realtors President Wayne Richardson, III.
“We have such a high focus on the quality of our neighborhoods in Hawai‘i that a program like this is very important,” Lt. Governor Aiona said.
“A lack of building maintenance, destruction of property and drug activity can all contribute to neighborhood decay, and end up costing more for the landlord,” Lt. Governor Aiona said. “There are accessible, legitimate techniques that can stop the spread of illegal activity and property damage at rental properties.”
The program brought more than 300 property owners and government officials to the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i. The event marked the fourth day of statewide training that covered such issues as landlord/tenant law, applicant screening, property maintenance regulation, crisis resolution and evictions.
