120-Unit Vacant Housing Preservation and Code Compliance

🔧 The Challenge

A municipal housing authority faced severe code violations across 120 vacant public housing units. Properties had been vacant 6-18 months with no preservation, resulting in extensive vandalism, mold growth, frozen pipe damage, and 47 active code violation notices from the city. The housing authority faced $5,000/day in accumulating fines and potential loss of federal funding.

💡 Our Solution

Auxi deployed 8 crews simultaneously to address the 120 units. Priority was given to the 47 units with active code violations. Within 30 days, all units were secured, trash-out completed, mold remediated, and winterized. Auxi then implemented monthly inspections and ongoing maintenance to prevent future violations. A dedicated compliance manager coordinated with city inspectors to resolve all open violations.

✅ The Outcome

All 120 units were secured, cleaned, and winterized within 30 days. Code violations were resolved within 60 days. Federal funding eligibility was restored. The housing authority avoided $680,000 in fines and penalty exposure.
