Blight Tickets

<p>Blight Tickets are issued by city inspectors, police officers, and other city officials with the power to investigate and cite code violations. Blight Tickets are adjudicated as civil cases by the <a href='https://detroitmi.gov/departments/department-appeals-and-hearings' rel='nofollow ugc'>Department of Administrative Hearings (DAH)</a>, an independent quasi-judicial department established in January 2005 as a major component of the City's efforts to address blight. This dataset largely models the <a href='https://app.detroitmi.gov:8443/DAHOnline/' rel='nofollow ugc'>Blight Violation Case History system</a>, which is administered by DAH and integrates data from departments that issue, process, and adjudicate blight violations. Blight tickets that are issued may be subsequently voided by the ticket writing department for various reasons.</p>

Article 15, Section 10 defines violations of Article 15 as blight violations, and Section 11 contains a schedule of civil fines assessed for specified violations.</p>
