Building Department Violation Notice
At the beginning of the pandemic I received a violation notice from the city of Parma, OH regarding some external work that needs to be completed for my rental property. We were given a grace period due to the pandemic but obviously I'm way late in getting this fixed.
Part of the issue is my Property Manager said she got a quote for $6,000 to fix everything. I think this is because the violation was super vague. Below is what it said:
I called the Inspector to get more clarity on everything, as the high price quote is mainly due to the "Repair/replace entry walkways. I have left him 2 voicemails and he doesn't return my call.
I do need to get this taken care of ASAP but honestly at $6,000, I'd rather just sell the property because it pretty much wipes out most of my rental income for the year. Anybody have advice/thoughts on how to handle this? Happy to share pictures of the property if someone can give me feedback.
FYI- my property manager is pretty aloof so not sure she'll be much help.
