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 code revision.
- The bill was unanimously passed by the Finance and Business committee.
- The bill will go before City Council in November for final approval.
Proponents of the bill argue that raising the fees will incentivize landlords to comply with city codes, while others worry about the impact on smaller property owners.
