Rental Inspections

[ozzrokk]

The inspector is asking to inspect the room. Letting him in would mean you are violating the MMA. Get it?

 

 

Yep I got you now........... My bad sorry........

[Habenero]

Reading my post that you quoted it kind of makes me come off as an donkey. Sorry, didn't mean to be offensive or demeaning with the "get it" comment. Was just asking if you understood where I was coming from. MY bad!

No offense taken bro............ and I love habeneros

What good is video taping it going to do? You're putting the nails in your own coffin. A local inspector can't give you permission to violate the MMA. Move the plants and have it inspected.

What I was suggesting is that the OP offer to show the inspector a video of the room in lieu of him going inside the locked door. A 30-second video would be enough for him to see that the room is not an occupant space.

Yeah I figured that Highlander. I was referring to the post by Michael Komorn. I guess taking a video to show the inspector can't hurt but I can't see him accepting that because I'm sure he is required to see it first hand. But worth a try, maybe he'll bend the rules.

[t-pain]

said inspector would also be violating confidentiality if he reported it, a misdemeanor.

[Habenero]

He doesn't need to report his incursion as a technical violation. All he would need to do is report that there is a grow to the prosecutor. Prosecutor asks how he knows, he says becuz I was in there. Prosecutor files charges. To see that as unlikely especially in Oakland county is crazy given Oakland county's history. I say be safe. Move your bunny muffin out before the inspection. Might take a few hours but a few hours spent now is worth preventing the monster in the closet (Oakland county prosecutor) from coming out. We need to see ourselves as the German resistance did during WW2. Blend in, lay low, don't let any1 see your grow. Don't even pray down there and invite god in. It's your sanctuary.

[Habenero]

I don't think grow location is confidential under the MMA. Where u coming up with that? And if you are using confidentiality as your defense against being prosecuted in Jokeland county then buckle up for a Looooong ride baby.

[Habenero]

Yer a sucka if you don't think they'd concoct a reason to get a warrant. Mr inspector, they were growing the evil weed huh? And how many plants did you see? Oh maybe 15 or 20. Goober, go getta warrant!

[Habenero]

Yeah sue them. That's no headache. How much time ya puttin into that? Move the plants babe.

[Habenero]

Cool cool. Just sayin.

 

So we have one vote in favor of letting him in to inspect and video it. We have one vote to not let him in and then sue them and hope for a win. I vote you move the plants. Seems most logical. Or maybe you could use one of the other suggestions and let us know how that experiment goes.

 

And Zapata I don't care what county its in becuz every prosecutor is a complain.

[Habenero]

Oh nice edit bro. For every1 who doesn't know  complain=beeotch.

[Habenero]

You gotta prosecutor as a BFF Zapata? If a prosecutor was on fire I wouldn't tinkle on him.

[Habenero]

No I haven't personally had any contact with any prosecutor. Many friends and family have though. The profession attracts sociopaths. Just like police. There is no way I would act in a way that put my future in the hands of a prosecutor.

I refuse to move my grow, I have no where to put anything, I will video tape the room and show the inspector why he can'tgo in there, iI will also show him the law in black and white that states no one but me or a patient can go in there.

So far i havent heard anything about him coming back, its been two weeks.

[Willy]

he'll be back ,, prepare for it..

[knucklehead bob]

he'll be back ,, prepare for it..

 

Guaranteed !

Inspection is done every three years, that's how long I've lived in this house.

The inspector is through the city.

I thought maybe I was entitled to some sort of privacy

As the former owner/operator of 48 duplexes, i havde had extensive experience with the police power of a city inspector, and their close ties to the police department.  I would not do what you are doing; rent where an inspection is mandated and conducted.  Growing is still too risky to advertise.  I'd abandon for friendly environs before i have more serious contact with the atuthorities.  Just me, after 28 years of grows and ther sorrows that authorities can cause.  No way would i stay and grow, maybe live there, but definitely grow elsewhere.

[cindy48647]

OK, this is what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna move the girls into one of my bedrooms,( which he has already inspected) an lock it,then I'll let him in the room.

The first time he came out , he wanted to inspect the room in my basement, I told him I couldn't let him in there, ( should have seen the look on his face lol)he said he had to go in there, I asked him why ,he said he needed to make sure the room wasn't a bedroom. I've got three bedrooms and one isn't being used ,why would i have a bedroom in the basement?

Anyways he inspected the rest of the house and he said he'd be coming back to inspect it.

I shrugged my shoulders .

Well the caretaker of the rentals called me and said he was coming back on the 7th of October, if I didn't let him in then the owner wouldn't have his permit renewed.

So, I'll video tape him and tell him what's up.

[Wild Bill]

So, I'll video tape him and tell him what's up.

 

I don't see any need to give him any more information than he already has. All he wants to do is make sure it's not a bedroom. There are special code requirements for basement bedrooms, such as an egress window that you can climb out of in case of fire. That's probably all he is looking for. My guess is he'll look in the room for about 10 seconds and then leave.

[cindy48647]

I hope your right Mr Bill

[Habenero]

I agree with the wild one.

[imiubu]

I agree with Bill, don't tell him anything

 

Let us know how it goes!

[Habenero]

Like that old phaquer always says, loose lips sink ships. Never share more than you have to.

 

Kind of like me. Marijuana? What? What's that? Oh that smell? Is that what marijuana smells like? Hmmm, who knew.
