Expand rental inspection program to cover all rental properties in the city
In Plain English
The city currently inspects only some rental properties for safety and maintenance issues. This law would require all residential rental properties to undergo regular city inspections. If approved, more rental units get safety checks, but landlords face additional inspection requirements and fees.

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved the first reading of a new law requiring all residential rental properties to undergo regular city safety inspections. Currently, the city only inspects some rental units, but this ordinance would expand inspections to cover all rental properties to ensure they meet safety and maintenance standards. Landlords would face new inspection requirements and fees as part of the process. The measure will return for a final vote on January 20, 2015, with Councilmember Boozé absent from this vote. This continues the council's pattern of strong support for housing-related measures.
