Urban Politics #241: Rental Housing Inspection
November 5th, 2007For the 2008 City budget, I am proposing $75,000 in funding for the Department of Planning and Development (DPD) to develop a rental housing licensing and inspection program that would identify and bring substandard rental housing into housing code compliance. The resulting recommendation would propose a structure and staffing for such a program. Structure and staffing could be for a pilot program rather than one that is city-wide. Proposed licensing fees or other funding mechanisms could also be recommended.
