Denver Considers Harsher Fines for Landlords
A Denver department is proposing to increase maximum penalties by five times against landlords who are not in compliance with city codes.
If a residential unit in Denver doesn’t have a smoke alarm installed, the current fine is up to $999 after a warning and several citations. However, the proposed revision could increase penalties to up to $5,000 per day.
- The Department of Excise and Licenses is pushing for the revision.
- The bill was unanimously passed by the Finance and Business committee.
- The bill is set to go before City Council in November for final approval.
Raising the fees will incentivize landlords to have their residential units up to city code.
The increased punishments have raised concerns about their potential impact on smaller property owners compared to corporate landlords.
