Complaint: Land Use
Opened December 16, 2021
This residence has a converted garage in the back that they are advertising for rent, which appears to be violating at least a few building codes. The unit's toilet and shower are basically in the kitchen, only separated by a shower curtain. There does not appear to be a ventilation fan.
