City Touts Increased Shelter Inspections and Repairs

City Hall officials said Wednesday they have made a significant dent in addressing tens of thousands of building code and health violations at the city’s homeless shelters as part of a major overhaul of the way the city manages homelessness.

Since Jan. 1, the city has made 12,026 repairs at its homeless shelters — almost as many as the 12,934 repairs that it made in all of 2015.
