Slutfört

The fee ranged from $45 to $65 depending on the size of the apartment buildings. The ordinance was designed to improve rental property standards by eliminating absentee landlords.

Utrymme för förbättring

An Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas judge eliminated the ordinance calling it an "excessive and impermissible tax". The city is prohibited from enforcing the ordinance until it sets a fee that is considered "fair, reasonable, and not grossly disproportionate to the cost of maintaining the program".
