Dear Rental Property Owner:
It has come to the attention of this office that some rental properiy owners have received
prior notices to correct the same violations on different properties.
It is apparent that some owners wait until they receive written correction notices before
bringing their rental properties into compliance and then only the property receiving the notice.
It seems, however, through continued inspections, the same violations are found over and !
over in different living units owned by the same landlord. It is the responsibility of the property
owner to assure that identical violations do not exist on their various properties. Self
inspections forms have been provided to many landlords in the community and those forms are
available on request or though the Inspection Services Division. These forms are intended for
use by the landlords to assure that their rental units are up to Code and by tenants to assure they
are living in a Code compliant dwelling unit. Obviously, in the case of several landlords, this is
not being done.
Therefore, when violations are found in the future and there has been a history of similar
violations in other properties owned by the same person(s), orders will be issued. However
times allowed for correction will be reduced and citations may be issued immediately for
recurrance of violations depending on the number of prior correction notices and citations
issued previously for that particular violation. Every effort will be made to assure that
violations were not the result of tenant abuse before issuing citations.
Maintenance of the common/shared portions of multiple dwelling units is the sole responsibility
of the property owner.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this notice, please call me at
236-5137.
Sincerely,
Bruce Luedtke
Housing Inspector
