4-Attachment G Property Maintenance.pdf

This file is an attachment to a Request for Proposals issued by the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement on behalf of the General Services Department for blight remediation, exterior property maintenance, and emergency services throughout Detroit. The attachment outlines the Property Maintenance Code requirements established under Detroit City Ordinances Sections 8-15-13, 8-15-103(a), and 8-15-201, which set minimum legal standards for maintenance, inspection, and reinspection of all buildings, premises, and structures within the City. Property owners are responsible for maintaining the exterior of buildings and premises in good repair, structurally sound and sanitary condition, protected from weather and decay, and free from noxious weeds and plant growth exceeding eight inches. Additionally, owners must maintain sidewalks and adjoining public property from the center of the street to one-half of the alley, ensuring all driveways, parking spaces, sidewalks, and areas of traverse are free from hazardous conditions and accumulated water. The scope of work encompasses services across 43 strategic commercial corridors, including 18 primary commercial corridors and 25 secondary/collector corridors, as well as other locations throughout Detroit.

The attachment emphasizes that property owners bear responsibility for maintenance within their designated responsibility zone and highlights the importance of "Front Stage" areas—customer-facing, publicly visible portions of properties including curbs—as the visual representation of property and environmental conditions. For additional information regarding property maintenance requirements or to schedule inspections, respondents are directed to contact the Property Maintenance Bureau at (313) 628-2451. The file does not specify pricing terms, contract duration, renewal options, funding sources, or set-asides; these details would be contained in other sections of the RFP.
