Title
Amending Section 32.04 of the Madison General Ordinances relating to adding additional Rent Impairing Violations to the Rent Abatement Ordinance.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This proposal makes additions to the Schedule of Rent Impairing Violations contained in Sec. 32.04(4) of the Madison General Ordinances. Under this proposal, a tenant may abate rent for uncorrected violations for failure to abate lead paint on the exterior and in the interior of a rental unit. Failure to correct a health nuisance caused by mold on interior surfaces and failure to install carbon monoxide detectors is made subject to abatement. Finally, the maximum total abatement authorized under this ordinance is increased to 100% where the premises have been vacated pursuant to an order of the Director of the Building Inspection Division
Pursuant to Sec. 32.04(13) of the current Madison General Ordinances, these amendments shall be effective and apply to all orders written by the Building Inspection Division 90 days after publication.
