Mayor Signs Milwaukee's Residential Rental Certificate Program Ordinance
About 1 hour before the close of business yesterday, December 10, 2009, Mayor Tom Barrett signed the city of Milwaukee's Residential Rental Certificate Program ordinance into law. Mayor Barrett left everyone waiting and wondering if he would sign it as the deadline to do so was the close of business yesterday.
The ordinance can be read in its entirety here.
The Preinspection Checklist can be found here. The checklist gives a detailed overview of all items that DNS will be inspecting when they come knocking in 2010. The landlords in the two designated areas will probably get pretty familiar with that checklist during the next 5 years of the "pilot program."
The ordinance will go into effect as of January 1, 2010.
