Rental Inspections in Cleveland.

Anyone has experience with Rental Inspections in the city of Cleveland? This is different from the point of sale inspection or section 8 inspections.

Looks like it's pretty recent and Cleveland requires annual ($35) registration which requires a mandatory inside and outside inspection for any rental.

What worries me about this is that it's going to be abused by the inspectors. I am already getting slapped with violation notices that are kind of bogus. For example the trim paint is peeling on my garage. If i let an inspector into the house is he going to tell me to fix every scratch and dent? Has anyone dealt with this in Cleveland? 

I was doing some research into it and there is a court decision that deemed these unconstitutional (but not in Cleveland, obviously): www.thetimesherald.com/story/money/business/2015/1...

Anyway, just want to hear other people's experience with it.
