Thank you @Matthew Pinkstonfor suggesting the venue and ordering the delicious food.

If it is a safety concern, it should get fixed.

The house I own , I am looking to move out of and rent out to long term tenants.I have searched this board and google and I have gotten answers all across the board...When I go to rent out this place, Do I need a safety fence (or gate) around my pool area?

So the kids are leaning on the screens, which is a HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!

or the shared kitchen.Someone steals someone's food, or cooks a meal leaving the area dirty?

This sounds like a safety issue and I'd do it right away.

You would need new approvals from Regional Planning and Building & Safety for the re-conversion to meet applicable single-family residential development standards under Title 22 (Zoning) of the County Code.”I asked to see the actual covenant document but was given only sample language.

We pay meticulous attention to ensuring the safety of our tenants to minimize this risk.

sometimes to make connection with good GC and contractor, is to buy them Taco and Tequilla, this would solve all problems in any relationship lol  Have you tried Mexican food in the Midwest? 

@Danny Van you can also attend Oakland REIA and MREI, both held monthly in Troy.Regarding what to do, first you'll need to call the City and get their rental application to fill out, pay the fee, submit and schedule the inspection.It's mostly a health & safety inspection: smoke detectors, a CO detector near furnace, handrails, GFCI's. etc.WARNING: Warren doesn't really like landlords, so they can be picky about previous work done without permits - even if it was done before you bought the property!
