City orders urgent action against apartment violations

In a recent government meeting, significant discussions centered around code violations and corrective actions for two properties owned by Orange Apartments LLC. The first case involved a parking lot that was sealed and striped without the necessary permit. The city recommended that the special magistrate find the violation exists, allowing the violators 60 days to obtain the required permit and comply with all inspection conditions. Failure to do so would result in a fine of $100 per day. Photographic evidence dated March 20 was presented, confirming the violation.

The second case addressed serious health and safety concerns at an apartment complex, including pest infestations and electrical hazards. The city urged the magistrate to mandate that the property owner treat the infestation, specifically rats, and repair nonworking electrical systems within 60 days. A request for reinspection was noted, but no documentation for pest control efforts had been submitted as of the meeting date. Photographs from an inspection on April 1 were also entered into evidence, showing evidence of the infestation and electrical issues.

Both cases highlight the city's commitment to enforcing building codes and ensuring tenant safety, with the potential for fines if compliance is not achieved within the stipulated timeframes.
