Speaker 2: The Report of the Planning, Planning and Zoning Committee Agenda Item two Constable 119 546 Relating to conforming city code to match provisions of state law for rental housing inspections, the committee recommends the bill passes.
Speaker 0: Castro and Pacheco.
Speaker 3: So this legislation through the countryside there. This legislation would update our rental registration inspection ordinance to better conform with state law.
Speaker 0: As you all know, the REO program.
Speaker 3: Requires rental properties to be inspected at least every ten years, either by a city inspector or a qualified private inspector. For multifamily buildings, only a sampling of units are inspected unless a unit falls, inspection, fails inspection and CCI orders more to be inspected prior to 2017. A private inspector is only required to give the city the certificate of compliance that was issued after any failures were corrected in 2017. The Council changed Rio to require that private inspectors provide the city with a full report if any failures are found, so that CCI can determine if additional units need to be inspected. This legislation would add a third option to Rio for property owners who do not wish to provide their initial results to the city. It would allow property owners to hire private and private inspectors to inspect 100% of the units and only submit their certificate of compliance rather than the full report. This change will allow private inspectors to identify larger problems and will provide more flexibility without weakening inspections.
Speaker 0: Very good. Any questions or comments? Please call the role on the passage of the bill.
