Subject: Re: Rental Inspection Program
Please convey to the City Council our support for an inspection program covering R -1 rentals. There are far too
many cases, throughout the City, where tenants are living in unheated garages with duct tape around
doors, illegal hotplates in garages and bedrooms, and too many unrelated tenants in an R -1 residence as well as
other violations. Safety calls for enforcement of the zoning and safety regulations currently in place. I attended
the City Staff presentation at Pacheco /Teach School and was impressed with the effort that staff has put into
coming up with an outline of the problem and possible solutions. Please heed their recommendations, as well as
the support residents are expressing, for a program requiring landlords to meet safety and health standards in
return for the rents they charge. It's not too much to ask. The only ones who would oppose this measure are
those who are not up to standard in their rentals. Cost would be minimal relative to the rents being charged per
tenant.
Thank you,
Roger and Linda Bishop
