Some properties were found to be so hazardous that they were declared unfit for occupancy.
The city’s leadership has spoken out, calling the situation a danger to public health and safety.
Officials are demanding immediate repairs and have proposed strict penalties, including a $2.8 million fine.
They’re also pushing for the landlord to sell the properties and exit the rental business altogether.
