The Baltimore Housing Department has hired a group of private investigators to track down owners of problem properties. The landlords can expect to be cited for code violations, taken to court, forced to fix up their houses, or in some cases, stripped of them. Until now, lawyers, paralegals and housing inspectors have been responsible for finding people whose properties do not meet the housing codes. But, city staff lacked the time and ability to do it right, and as a result, have wasted time and money by sending violation notices to the wrong address and even filing lawsuits against property owners who turn out to be dead. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/yahoo/bal-md.gumshoe03sep03,0,5831646.story?coll=bal-newsaol-headlines
