I RECEIVED A
NOTICE FROM THE CITY TO MAKE A BUNCH OF REPAIRS, WHAT CAN
I DO? - The obvious answer is... make them.
The city, in conjunction with the mayors office, is trying
to 'clean up' downtown, or older areas of the city. Their
methods include using inspectors from the Neighborhood Services
Department to inspect and cite properties for code violations.
They also work hand in hand with the Fire Department to achieve
the same results. If you do not comply with their requests
they have the power to shut down your building and eventually
demolish it. You of course have legal recourse and there is
a system in place where you can take your case before the
city council. This is a lengthy process. Keep in mind it is
the city that is backing these people.
