Livonia Ch. 5.42 § 5.42.090 governs the process by which a rental dwelling operator may appeal a license refusal, suspension, or revocation before the city council. Tenants in affected properties may find this provision relevant because a license suspension or revocation can signal that a property has been found out of compliance with local rental dwelling standards. Tenants who have concerns about the licensing status of their dwelling may contact the city of Livonia directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available to them.
