    Some landlords’ regular business practice is to pay fines rather than repair and maintain buildings/apartments, because it’s cheaper for them to do so

    • Violations closed are still occurring

      This is so true as I was told. It should be stopped. I feel if the complaint filed was closed and it still occurring, then maybe the bldg inspector is getting paid by the owner or business owner. They stated there was no noise and vibration in my apt coming from the a/c vents outside in the middle of the bldg. But, I already had video recordings of it and I told them about it. I said to them, if they get paid to close the complaint and one of them laughed. There’s 1 inspector that comes every year and I filed a complaint against him this time and don’t want him in my home as inspector the next time an inspector comes. I feel there’s a scam going on, with violations being closed, when the problem is still there.

    What a lovely picture, I would like to know the address of that building. At least the hallway is clean. And the landlord is responsible for repairing the mailboxes. What responsibility does the apartment owner have in this??? NONE—
    Maybe the tenant didn’t lose their keys and break the box open. Maybe some other person in the building broke into them. Well, you can get a lot of that when you don’t have any right to do background checks. The landlord cannot look at criminal or housing history and the neighbors (and community) get to live with the results, but this is what they voted for.

    Just like there are GOOD LANDLORDS, GOOD TENANTS and GOOD PEOPLE, there are BAD LANDLORDS, BAD TENANTS and BAD PEOPLE, let’s remember that and not put all the blame and responsibility on landlords and property managers.
