City of Sacramento-Rental Housing Inspection Program
November 25th, 2008 2:14 PM

I had a client call me a few days ago and ask me why he received a letter in the mail from the City of Sacramento's Rental Housing Inspection Program. Both he and I did not know there was such a thing.  After digging deeper, I found out that the City of Sacramento is starting to monitor all rental properties in the city of Sacrament to make sure they are "up to code" and safe for tenants. This program does not seem to apply to properties outside of Sacramento City limits. The program costs $28 per rental unit. Another part to this new program is that the owners of the properties have to provide a contact within 35 miles of Sacramento City Hall who has full authority to act on behalf of the property owner. This may be a challenge for out of town investors.

The most common examples of violations found are:

*Inoperable or missing smoke detectors

*Infestation of insects, vermin, or rodents

*Deteriorated or ineffective waterproofing of walls, roofs, foundation, or floors

*Split, buckling or sagging roofs

* Door aisles, passageways, or stairways not of sufficient width or size

*Unsightly, detoriorated fencing

*Overgrown yards

*Any building in disrepair that constitutes a publice nuisance

*Structure in need of painting

*Storage in the front yards

*Inoperable Vehicles
