The purpose of the Residential Rental Inspection Program is to:
- safeguard the stock of safe, sanitary rental units within the City;
- protect persons entering or residing in rental units through systematic inspection of rental housing throughout the City.
The program focuses attention on rental housing in higher density areas with the goal of inspecting these units every 3.5 years. Properties outside the focus area are inspected less frequently, unless they are the subject of a complaint.
All rental units - single family homes, duplexes, apartments, condominiums, motels and hotels - are covered by the program. Section 8 units are also subject to inspection.
In addition to an annual, per-unit fee, fees are charged for every unit in which a violation is found. Penalties may also be assessed for lack of timely correction of violations.
