City Council Makes Move to Reduce Crime, Complaints at Benbrook Hotels.

โ€ข

In an effort to reduce criminal activity in and around hotels, the City Council of Benbrook recently amended the municipal code to require all hotels in Benbrook to apply for and maintain a lodging license.

The amendment includes provisions for the application process, the continuance of the licensing system, and the penalization of hotel businesses that are non-compliant with the new municipal code.

The amendment will introduce a new system for tracking the number of annual service calls to properties. Properties that receive more than the prescribed number of calls (based on the number of rooms) will be obligated to improve conditions lest they be relieved of their lodging license.

All four hotels currently operating in Benbrook have received notice of the new ordinance and have been given 60 days to apply for the lodging license. ย Those who do not comply with the revised ordinance will be fined up to $2000 per violation.
