Allentown Inspection fee lawsuit - Outcome?

[Kevin Donovan]

Hello Allentown landlords - I am in Pottstown and it looks like we will be experiencing changes in inspection fees in the near future.  I volunteered to do the research to find out what other landlords in other communities have done to fight/object to these increasing fees.  When I did a google search I notice an article in the Morning Call from Jan 2012 with the headine

Landlords sue city over rental unit fee hike

Lawsuit calls the $75 fee "an unlawful special tax."

I cannot find any follow up and seems Lehigh County civil records are not easy to get from the internet.

Did this settle?  What was outcome? Any feedback about the attorney representing the landlord?  Any links that I can access on the internet to read about this case.

Thanks - Kevin
