Burlington City Council unanimously passes resolution demanding universities share dorm inspection data and review applying housing codes to college dorms amid ongoing maintenance issues.
On November 18, 2025, the Burlington City Council unanimously passed a resolution addressing ongoing housing concerns in UVM and Champlain College dorms, including mold, leaks, broken heating, and delayed repairs.
Sponsored by student councilor Marek Broderick, the resolution demands universities share inspection data and establishes a city certification process for dorms.
It also directs the Ordinance Committee to review whether colleges should be subject to the same housing codes as other buildings, amid student claims that issues persist despite repeated complaints.
UVM says it has resolved 94% of maintenance requests, but students argue fixes are often superficial.
The city is seeking legal advice on its authority to regulate college housing.
