I'm assuming the citations probably have fines attached....

Or another scenario is, they’ll say, here is a list of correction you’ll need to do - well it’s longer than santa’s list, here is a citation and violation fees.

I am not an attorney, so offer layman opinion with citations and experience that reflect my non-legal views.  

But just less than a week after closing, one of my tenants received a citation from the city that said "Must purchase proper permits for conversion of single family dwelling to a duplex."

So now I am having to have someone else pick up the garbage and take it to the dump.I have multiple open citations/warnings about having "x cleaned up" Its usually garbage cans, old furniture, tires, think pretty much anything that is an eye soar.

Hey guys, I am a new investor here in Miami, FL and I have recently found a home zoned for multifamily with a efficiency in the yard with great rental potential. The down side is the property has about $251,076 in lie...

Shocking, is there any legal citation for this online I can look up? 

Last thing you want is to receive a citation from the city for an unkept lawn and it not state in the lease that it was the tenants responsibility.

@Matt Slease, have you followed up with the police to see if they have issued citations?

I am worried that what I don’t know could result in citations in the future, and I would hate for that to be because I was ignorant of the rules. some recent bits I have recovered through asking around the past few months:-Chicago compliant exit signs must be steel (and obviously overpriced)-an electrician told me that storefronts are required to have a 110v outlet on the ceiling near the storefront window (for window lights I guess??).
