to meet the new deadbolt standards,
said Ann Arbor Police Chief William
Corbett.
"It might be the first time ever that

Councilman Lowell Peterson (D-1st

The City Council exempted Co-ops

vironment for residents" in rental
housing where "a lot" of crimes occur
due to unlocked windows and doors,
Corbett said. He added he would like to
see the law applied to every home in the
city.
