Detroit: Heads up on new registration/compliance crackdown!

[Elizabeth Goff]

Sounds like the city is getting serious about getting rental properties registered and holding a Certificate of Compliance.  The first zip code's (48215) deadline was 8/1 and they are now issuing $750 tickets for non-compliance (ouch!)

They are taking it zip code by zip code.  Below are the upcoming zip codes and deadlines below.  A bit difficult to read in the text (inserting image in message not working ??), so you can also find at the link below.  I would hope that my property manager would be on top of this but that is not the case (and have heard the same from some other investors)!!  Good luck.

I think expecting PM to be ON TOP of this is pretty tough.. how are they going to do that.. if they manage 500 houses or more.. I think the owners need to probably engage.. is my thought..  Detroit is turning the corner for sure .. what was once one of the most dysfunctional and corrupt city governments under Kwami is now under decent leadership.

still has its issues but going in the right direction.
