That policy came about after we found (years ago) tenants burning newspapers, pine branches (nice aroma, dangerous for chimney fires) old furniture and trash in the fireplace. 

That would be correct if OP's father has made or intends to make an S election for the LLC.Since OP did not specify tax status of the SMLLC, we're left to assume no alternate election was made, and the LLC carries the default tax status: 'Disregarded Entity'.A DRE should not be issuing W-2s or 1099s to its owner as it's effectively dissolved for federal income tax purposes and there's no distinction between the owner and the LLC.

You have to have a lighter touch with the property management.From a legal perspective in SFRs, yes, I always give 24 hours notice before I asset my right to access the property, WITH TWO EXCEPTIONS, an emergency situation constituting a danger to my property, the tenants, or the public at large, and shoveling any public sidewalks running through the property.

Rodents are dangerous, they carry diseases. 

It's a very dangerous proposition to impose rent control. 

What we decided to do to comply with the city is to convert the home to a single family (removing one of the front doors), but keep the right side as a distinct space with a MIL suite with a small kitchenette and back entry. 

Bob, everything your listed is a red flag, people should watch out to.I don't know you personally, but you don't have any references to a brokerage of your PM company, you're trying to tell OOS investors that East Cleveland is OK to invest when it's clearly danger zone.I'm not trying to be cool - just warn people to be more careful what broker to affiliate with.Do you care to share the name of your broker who would manage properties in East Cleveland?

Now if they also, for example, punched an employee you should include the termination for clear and present danger language. 

I appreciate that because I do think it's bordering on dangerous.

@Aditya MainiWow that sounds dangerous.
