Gulick asks: Why not $10,000 fine for non-registering landlords in fire deaths?
Why not a $10,000 fine? asked City Council member Kris Gulick at the Tuesday evening council meeting.
Gulick and his council colleagues are trying to adopt changes in the city's housing code that are designed, in part, to let city housing officials keep better track of rental properties. Better track means making sure rental properties are inspected, safe and obeying city regulations.
One of the proposed changes in the housing code would up the fine from the current $100 to $1,000 for landlords who do not register their rental units with the city.
