A landlord has been ordered to pay almost £114,000 for breaking management regulations.
Beckhall Properties Ltd, of Lower Hillgate, Stockport was fined a total of £108,000 for 12 separate offences.
The company was also ordered to pay the city council’s costs of £5,692.
Beckhall Properties Ltd who pleaded guilty to all 12 offences were represented by a Solicitor but failed to attend the court hearing.
Beckhall Properties Ltd is required to meet management regulations for their buildings - which are converted into self-contained flats - under Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) legislation.
Manchester City Council and Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council have both previously conducted successful prosecutions against the company.
The latest investigation discovered a catalogue of breaches of management regulations at five properties on Clarendon Road, Whalley Range, including: a defective fire alarm and fire doors, unmaintained fire extinguishers, disconnected smoke and heat detectors, failing to provide gas and electrical safety certificates, a dangerous staircase, dampness, overgrown land and carelessly discarded waste.
Cllr Bernard Priest, Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council, said: “Let the size of the fine send a message - in no uncertain terms - that it is simply unacceptable for landlords to fail in their legal obligations."
