I just thought it strange that they blamed the late notification to the home owners on lack of staff, however, do they have enough manpower to inspect, issue violations, reinspect and then what? Lock the people up? Fine them? I believe this city should be run like other cities, some that hand out violations if the lawn isn't cut regularly, we need to have some standards, I just think this is not going to fly at this time. I'm with getting the blight removed from Michigan Ave. and other major avenues and taking steps to go after owners of the buildings downtown that are raining bricks on people. the City properties need to be removed, repaired first. Almost all the older frame houses in Detroit need some kind of repair and paint, but, to issue blanket violations and give out unreasonable deadlines just doesn't make sense.
