RENTAL HOUSING REGISTRATION
It is the intention of the city to take steps that will improve the livability and valuation of the city’s housing stock and to promote revitalization of the city’s neighborhoods. Studies have shown that rental housing tends to generate a disproportionately high level of Building Code violations and code enforcement problems. Inspecting rental housing on a systematic basis and requiring compliance with the minimum level of housing standards contained in the International Property Maintenance Code, as adopted by the city, and all other codes referenced therein, shall eventually help reduce housing deterioration in the city’s neighborhoods and will promote revitalization. With this in mind, this subchapter sets forth a rental housing registration and systematic inspection program.
