Housing Inspections
The Department of Public Services is authorized and directed to make annual inspections to determine the condition of rental properties, including apartments, hotels, motels, single-family dwellings, rooming houses, fraternities and sororities located within the City to safeguard the health and safety of the occupants and the general public.
A City code enforcement officer, upon presentation of proper credentials, is authorized to enter, examine and survey, at all reasonable times, all dwellings, dwelling units, rooming units and other premises. The owner or occupant of such units or the person in charge thereof are asked to give the code enforcement officer free access to such units at all reasonable times for such inspections. If access is denied, the City may request an administrative search warrant to obtain entry.
In the event of a direct complaint from a tenant to the City concerning an alleged housing code violation, the Public Services department will inspect the premises for verification of the complaint.
