A multi-family dwelling unit is defined as a building consisting of three or more dwelling units. This inspection is conducted once every two years. An inspection of the exterior, as well as the interior of the individual units is performed. The exterior inspection is the same as for the single family rental program described above. Electrical systems and plumbing are also inspected to insure proper operating condition.
Fire safety is reviewed including the presence of working smoke detectors.
Rental disputes are handled through the Mentor Municipal Court. If you have specific property maintenance questions, call 974-5740. You can also e-mail the Community Development Department with a request for service or comment. If you have a concern on a specific property, please provide the address of the property, so staff can better serve you.
