Need some advice for violation of city ordinance

[Judy Chiu]

I am a new investor and I just received several notes from the GA police department regarding violation of city ordinance, including prohibited uses, overcrowding, etc. Given I am out of state and I have never encountered this type of issue in the past, my first reaction is to 1) reach out to the property management company to see whether this is part of their scope and 2) start looking for attorney to get legal advice. 

Would love to see whether there are others with similar experience that can share how they handled this in the past. Thanks so much in advance!

@Judy Chiu If I am in your shoes, once I received first police or any city ordinance violation , I will first contacting the property management department to ask them to contact tenants to solve the issues. If they repeat more than once. I will ask the management company to terminate the lease. In your post, it appeared that your property management is part of the issue of not being able to communicate or work on your behalf. I will start looking for a new property manager.

keep spending money asking lawyers to solve the issue will eat all your profits away and cannot solve the bottom of the issue.
