With all of Denver's multi-unit properties ordered to be licensed, the city is starting to get serious about its new enforcement program.
The multi-unit apartment building at 3401 Williams Street in Denver’s Cole neighborhood got hit with the city's first $999 fine in this week for refusing to comply, according to the Department of Excise & Licenses.
Excise & Licenses is technically allowed to fine an unlicensed operator $999 per day after it receives its first $999 penalty, should they continue to ignore department orders. But city officials have previously said it hoped no property would actually reach that point; it typically tries to use fines and citations as a last resort.
The rest of the nearly 9,000 licensed properties are single-unit properties like family homes or condos. Those must all be licensed by January 2024 and will receive a 50 percent discount on their $50 application fee if they do so.
