Farmington Hills — Ch. 7 Art. VIII Single-Family Rental Dwellings § 7-348 establishes that compliant operators of single-family rentals generally maintain their properties in a condition that can withstand routine inspections on a three-year cycle. Owners of vacant units keep those properties maintained to a standard that can satisfy inspections occurring as frequently as every 180 days. Because complaint-driven inspections can happen at any time, operators who document ongoing maintenance activity and address issues promptly tend to be better positioned when unscheduled inspections arise.
