Expand rental inspection program to cover more units and end self-inspections
In Plain English
The city currently allows some landlords to self-certify their rental units meet safety standards instead of requiring professional inspections. This change eliminates self-certification and expands inspections to include affordable housing units previously exempt from the program. If approved, more rental properties face mandatory city inspections to ensure they meet building and safety codes.
