This chapter provides expedited administrative procedures to address conditions in rented residences and other premises that constitute an immediate threat to the health and safety of tenants or the public. The expedited procedure for rental units is based on the tenants’ relocation benefit provisions of the State Housing Law (Health & Safety Code Sections 17910 to 17998.3). The expedited procedure for other premises is based on the County Health Officer's obligation and authority to protect public health (see, e.g., Health and Safety Code Sections 101000 and 101030 and Government Code Section 23003).
