County Code Violation letter for HVAC and Refrigerator issues

[Gp G.]

Hi All,

I got a code violation letter from county for refrigerator and HVAC issues to be addressed in 7 days but I got that mail yesterday.

I already replaced the refrigerator with a new refrigerator as the repair technician mentioned around 1000$ to fix a lot of things.

The HVAC is 2 year old.

Tenant says it works on and off.

The HVAC person who installed it checked a couple of times and said everything is fine with that HVAC

(other side unit installed at the same time by the same HVAC technician works perfect which I inspected yesterday as that unit is vacant).

I asked the PM to send his vendor also waiting for their update.

The PM spoke to county people last week and explained to them that they are working on these issues as they speak.

The PM said everything is fine with Rockdale county people so far.

Seems tenant reported to county as per PM who did the inspection and issued this violation code letter about 10 days ago and stuck it to the door and gave it to the tenant also.

Is it normal for county people to give code violation letters for Refrigerator, HVAC etc inside the home things.

This is not a section 8 tenant also just a normal tenant placed by the PM.

Does the county need permission from the tenant or landlord to enter inside the property.

Is it part of new laws as I never had this type of code violation letter in the past for inside property issues

(I had once a code violation letter when one tenant left some trash, junk cars on the grass not on the driveway which is understandable).

Please advise
