Detroit aims to bring 9K rentals to code; starts site for complaints

Detroit is implementing a new five-point plan to increase compliance of one-and two-family rental properties by raising certification rates from 14% to 25% within a year. The strategy includes tracking illegal properties, educating landlords, and providing a new online system for tenants to report building issues at www.detroitmi.gov/TenantSupport. Officials also noted plans to bring the remaining senior apartments up to code by the end of the year.
