Letter from Code Enforcement

[Guest guest]

My state started inspecting rentals randomly a few years ago and I guess they

picked mine to inspect. I have no problems here other than getting laundry dryer

exhaust. Don't think that is a violation. But it is good to hear this is finally

being done to protect renters.

I might have to give them a few places to check out where I had mold

previously. It is at the end of the month so I will update then.

An increasing number of states and municipalities have begun

adopting the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC). In

addition to identifying certain conditions as violations it specifies

which are the responsibility of the occupant and which are the

responsibility of the owner. If IPMC (or modifications of it) are

adopted then those provisions are enforceable. This is (perhaps)

the beginning of what many of us have been needing --

enforcement of correction of unhealthy living conditions.

More information from the Website of the National Center for

Healthy Housing at:

http://www.healthyhomestraining.org/Codes/IPMC.htm

There's a draft of one of their proposals at:

http://www.healthyhomestraining.org/Codes/Healthy_Homes_Cod

es_6-26-08.pdf

I hope some of us will learn more about this promising direction

and begin activities to convince local authorities to adopt the

IPMC.

In our case CE cam, saw a sign that read " please help people dying from toxic

mold "   they took down the sign and started harrassing us, not for the mold or

conditions, for the revenue it would bring them.

 

They did not care about the living conditions or anyone who might be dying

there, neither did the city council or the mayor who sent the police to tell us

to stop writing letters she had no time for people like us. (It was a threat) or

else.........

God Bless !!

I understand, Mayleen. There's bad code enforcement like there's

bad cops and bad teachers and bad lawyers. But I'd rather have

the tool available than not have it at all. Also, there is much

conversation here and on other groups that nobody does

anything. Well, some people are and some agencies are creating

new tools. Let's keep using all which are available until the good

guys outnumber the bad guys.
