An initial inspection of the property was conductedon September 17to verify the validity of 9 the complaints. The inspection found that the complaints were valid,and that due to the number and 10 degree of violations noted that the situation warranted a full reinspection of all 12 buildings and a 11 bigger sampling of rental units. 12 On October 11th and 14th inspectors from the Fire and Building Departments conducted a detailed 13 inspection of the property and found numerous violations, including several life safety issues.

These were: 22 23 Lack of working smoke alarms in the units 24 Lack of working carbon monoxide detectors in the units and buildings 25 Egress doors that are not properly functioning and compliant with code 26 Multiple electrical hazards 27 G&G Management LLC was required to correct the life safety issues and provide the City with a 28 comprehensive plan that outlines a timeline to address all documented code violations at Marion 29 Street/The Brittanys Apartments by November 18, 2019.
