The owner of the Bel-Aire Motel is appealing $140,000 in fines levied by the city because of the chronic disrepair at the residential apartment complex.
The owner says work is continuing to repair hundreds of code violations cited by the city during recent inspections. But city officials say repairing violations after the fact won’t necessarily get owner Gopal Motwani off the hook.
The State Journal-Register reports a hearing on the appeal is set for June 20th.
