City uses locksmiths to enforce rental law
City relies on police escorted inspections to enforce rental codes amid tenant resistance. Officials say 19 search warrants were issued through Friday, with 24 hour notices given in most cases. One tenant, Turner, refused access, citing personal rights and principle. Corliss praised the inspections for uncovering life safety code violations and prompting property owners to fix issues. No violations were found at Turner's home.
