Macomb — Ch. 13 Housing § 13-14
Certificate expiration
Operative Text
(a) The certificate of inspection issued pursuant to this division shall expire three years from the date of triennial inspection; provided however, that if a reinspection of the premises has not been completed prior to the expiration of the certificate of inspection, the dwelling covered by the certificate may continue to be rented and occupied until the reinspection is completed and a new certificate of inspection is either issued or denied. (b) The certificate of inspection shall have the expiration date prominently displayed on its face.
Under Macomb Ch. 13 Housing § 13-14, a certificate of inspection tied to a triennial inspection is valid for three years from the date of that inspection. If a scheduled reinspection has not yet occurred by the time the certificate expires, the dwelling may lawfully continue to be rented and occupied until the reinspection is finished and a new certificate is either granted or denied. Every certificate must show its expiration date prominently on its face.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 13-14, compliant operators track the three-year expiration date printed on each certificate of inspection and coordinate timely reinspection scheduling to avoid lapses. If a reinspection has not been completed before the current certificate expires, the property may continue operating during the gap period, but operators generally ensure the reinspection process is actively underway. Keeping the certificate posted where the expiration date is visible helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with the face-display requirement.

Section 13-14 gives tenants a basis to verify that their dwelling holds a current certificate of inspection, since the expiration date must appear prominently on the certificate itself. If a certificate has expired and no reinspection is in progress, that may represent a code compliance issue worth raising with the local housing authority in Macomb. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what options exist, including how to inquire about a property's inspection status or raise a potential violation through the appropriate municipal channel.
