FIT PATRICK CITY CLERK CJ September 12, 1968 TO: Honorable City Council PROM: Director of Planning and Building SUBJECT: Adoption of Uniform Housing Code Attached for your review, is Volume III of the Uniform Building Code, known as the "Housing Code." This Code, when properly enforced under a comprehensive program, can be a valuable tool to arrest, remedy and prevent the decay and deterioration of residential structures in the community. Presently the Department must rely on the State Housing Code as a tool for abating and rehabilitating sub - standard dwellings. The adoption of the "Housing Code" will give direct authority to the City for upgrading housing conditions within the community and will fulfill a prerequisite for certification of the City's workable program presently being prepared. It is requested that the City Council set a public hearing to consider the adoption of the Housing Code at its earliest con- venience. The Staff is of the opinion that the Code in its present form is adequate, except for the Section concerning proceedings for enforcement. Once the matter has been set for public hearing, a proposed amendment relating to enforcement will be prepared for the Council's consideration. RDY:ve Att.
