Hire 2 companies to inspect rental housing for $2 million over 3 years
$1,000,000.00 per vendor
In Plain English
The city currently lacks a systematic way to ensure rental properties meet safety standards. These contractors will inspect apartments and houses that residents rent to verify they have working smoke detectors, proper plumbing, and other basic safety features. If approved, each company receives up to $1 million over 3 years.
