2042 Midland Ave code violation opened for garage living-space plumbing issues

Owners William E. Cowley Jr. and Mary D. Cowley are listed on an open property maintenance code violation for 2042 Midland Ave after neighbors reported the garage has been converted into living space without a certificate of occupancy. Complaints say toilets are venting outside where residents of 2044 park, there are no smoke detectors, the garage is full of junk, and tenant Patrick Cowley has been blocking the alley; Metro311 noted some plumbing issues need referral to the correct agency rather than MSD.
