MOU necessary for ground cover issues. Perennial Management has done a good job of upgrading and making improvements to the buildings which are now 75% occupied. Also, police calls have dropped significantly at these buildings. Maintenance personnel are now more aware of what is considered a violation. After renewal inspections, a number of buildings have gone from a"6 months" to "three year" renewal rating. Ramsey County Health Department noted their appreciation of the program. Since the beginning of the program, staff estimates an additional 2,465 smoke detectors have been installed predominately in bedrooms throughout the apartment buildings in the city. Anticipated one building not made corrections and possibly license revocation. However, a few days before the inspection, owner corrected and completed 90% of the violations resulting in a very favorable outcome.
