Maplewood Nuisance Ordinance
Maplewood an inner suburb of St. Louis has had a nuisance ordinance which has been challenged by the ACLU. In a settlement the city agreed to change the ordinance.
The sticking point was that more than a certain number of calls to the police could get a tenant evicted. In the case of a woman suffering from domestic abuse, calling the police is usually a necessity.
I believe nuisance ordinances serve an important service. They need to be reasonable in how they are enforced.
