red tagging

As part of the settlement, Simtob has agreed to pay for temporary housing and to repair its properties within the next few months.

Democratic Rep. Emily Dievendorf says several the package could protect tenants in Lansing, where hundreds of housing units have been red-tagged due to unsafe conditions.

Community members worry that poor maintenance of red-tagged homes has put Lansing renters on the precipice of a housing crisis.

The new department head will oversee building safety and code compliance. That includes concerns around unsafe rental conditions and red-tagged housing units.
