MAHANOY CITY -- Mahanoy City is doing some spring cleaning and making an effort to make the borough look better.

The borough is starting an initiative to strictly enforce nine quality of life ordinances.

The so-called "Nifty-Nine" focus on creating a cleaner and neater appearance to properties in the borough. For example, making sure trash bins or excess trash isn't sitting on front porches or inside furniture is not outside homes.

"I  think people should know we are working to better the borough and help our citizens improve the borough," said Mahanoy City Borough Manager Dan Lynch.

Before borough officials can clean up the borough, they must first clean up some of the ordinances.

"We have actually two ordinances in regards to trash. The quality of life ordinance addresses trash issues, but there are some inconsistencies between the two ordinances," Lynch added.

The borough is setting up a committee to help enforce and clear up the ordinances. There is no word on when exactly officials in Mahanoy City will begin strictly enforcing those quality of life ordinances. They simply say soon.

Violations will result in fines that start at $25.
