Although the City does not require interior inspections of single-family housing, tenants may request an inspection if they feel that life, health and safety standards are not being met. Inspections may be performed at the discretion of City staff once a Tenant-Requested Inspection Request Form is completed and submitted.
Multi-Family
Owners of apartment complexes must license their properties annually for a fee of $10 per unit. Interior life, health and safety inspections are conducted as part of the annual licensing process. A minimum of 5% of all units in each apartment complex must be available for inspection. Units are inspected on a rotating basis to ensure different units are inspected every year.
As with single-family properties, tenants of multi-family housing may request an inspection if they feel life, health and safety standards are not being met. Tenant-Requested Inspection Request Form
