Detroit Takes Legal Action Against Digital Real Estate Platform Over Safety and Health Concerns

The City of Detroit has initiated a lawsuit against the digital real estate platform “Boncoine,” alleging violations of safety and health codes across multiple properties it owns and manages. The lawsuit asserts that numerous properties under the platform’s control pose a threat to residents and the general public due to neglect and inadequate maintenance. The city is demanding urgent repairs and compensation for the damages incurred. The case focuses on claims of structural hazards, rodent and insect infestations, and violations of housing regulations, all of which endanger the health and safety of residents. The city seeks a court order to compel the platform to adhere to existing laws and regulations. Furthermore, it is seeking compensation to cover the costs of property inspections and remediation efforts.
