With the beginning of the new school year, the City has considered imposing new regulations on how the Houses of Fraternity work.   The proposal intends to know if the new rules for fraternities and sororities can help address problems related to them, such as garbage accumulation, noise and poor maintenance of property.   To date, Fraternity Houses or Fraternities have been exempt from the obligation to obtain a license from the City, receive inspections or develop an Emergency Plan in case of fire. Therefore, it has been complicated to impose disciplinary measures and to follow up appropriately when there are incidents or negative behavior.   The city's Executive Committee will decide among a series of recommendations that, if approved, would require all of these Houses to be licensed as room (or multi-tenant) homes, with no exceptions.   It is no secret to anyone that for many years, this type of residences have brought problems to the neighbors that close to them inhabit. There are many complaints the City receives about increasingly problematic behaviors.   The fact that these Residences are now required to obtain a license from the City will help municipalities to create a more efficient incident response mechanism, as well as to ensure a habitable environment that respects building codes and standard security.   If these measures are approved, fraternities and sororities will have to apply for a license and accept all city-related safety regulations, fees and more. Those that are rejected to live near the Campus, will be in need of finding accommodation in another place.   Let's hope that with such actions, the complaints of the neighbors will be heard and thus we have a more habitable city and students respectful of the law.
