8/16/13 - Owners of the Davis Office Center at West Grand River and Best Buy Drive in Brighton have been put on notice that they need to correct the building violations there or suffer the consequences. The Brighton City Council Thursday night was told the owners had done virtually nothing to rectify the code violations that have existed for an extended period of time at their buildings. City Manager Dana Foster tells WHMI that the owners will be given 7-10 days to come up with a definitive proposal to redress the problems, and if they have not done so by that time, the city will go to court to force the corrections. Livingston County Building Official Jim Rowell, who is under contract to the city, told council in June that the office complex at has not been maintained properly over its 30-year life and is in violation of several maintenance and safety codes. The owner of the office complex, which includes mostly professional and medical offices, is Thomas Duke of Citation Investments. Duke has reportedly told Rowell that he has plans to demolish the four buildings that make up the complex, but could give him no timetable.
