Residential Rental Housing Inspection Pilot Program

http://www.cityofsacramento.org/code/RentalHousing.cfm

Residential Rental Housing Inspection Pilot Program

The City of Sacramento’s reputation of being a great place to live is due in large part to the quality of our neighborhoods and the range of available housing. As part of continuing high standards of livability in Sacramento, rental units must meet minimum building standards. The Residential Rental Housing Pilot program is aimed at promoting greater compliance with health and safety standards to reduce substandard conditions in rental housing.

Early prevention of deteriorating neighborhoods is the goal of the Rental Housing Inspection Program. This pilot program has been instituted by the City of Sacramento to determine the need, resources, and effects of a citywide rental inspection ordinance and is dedicated to the proactive inspections of rental properties in focused areas. The program achieves compliance of health, safety and welfare code violations in/on residential rental property that result in a:

  • Threat to the occupant's safety

  • Threat to the structural integrity of the building

  • Negative impact on the surrounding neighborhoods

The building inspectors conduct door-to-door inspections of property maintenance violations in designated areas. They survey rental properties for interior and exterior code violations and issue corrective notices. The most common examples are:

  • Deteriorated or ineffective waterproofing of exterior walls, roof, foundation or floors, broken windows or doors
  • Ceilings, roofs, ceiling and roof supports or horizontal members that sag, split or buckle
  • Any door aisle, passageway, stairway which is not of sufficient width or size
  • Any building in disrepair that constitutes a public nuisance
  • Poor landscape maintenance
  • Structure in need of painting
  • Unsightly, deteriorated fencing
  • Broken windows
  • Overgrown yards
  • Storage in the front yard
  • Inoperable vehicles

    Comprehensive list: “General Overview of Housing Code Violations


Program Process

All rental housing within focused areas in Sacramento is reviewed during an initial (exterior) inspection. If violations are found, an inspection request letter is sent to the property owner listing the exterior violations found and a checklist (General Overview of Housing Code Violations). If violations are found during a continued inspection, an administrative Notice and Order is issued to the property owner specifying the violation(s) observed. The owner is given up to 30 days to correct the violations. An enforcement fee is issued for continuing (over 30-days) violations.

When a property owner fails to complete corrections within the allotted time, the case file is referred to the Housing and Dangerous Buildings (HDB) Section for continued monitoring of compliance. HDB may refer case to City Attorney for administrative and legal action including but not limited to:


  • Administrative Penalty
  • Criminal Citation
  • Civil Litigation
  • Relocation of tenants
  • Receivership
  • Rent Escrow Account Program

WILLIAM AND CATHERINE BOOTH

WILLIAM AND CATHERINE BOOTH

THEIR LIFE and MINISTRY with PHOTOS

When asked for the secret of his success, William Booth said:

I will tell you the secret. God has had all there was of me. There have been men with greater brains than I, men with greater opportunities. But from the day I got the poor of London on my heart and caught a vision of all Jesus Christ could do with them, on that day I made up my mind that God would have all of William Booth there was. And if there is anything of power in the Salvation Army today, it is because God has had all the adoration of my heart, all the power of my will, and all the influence of my life.

    The Purpose of the 'Center of Hope' Community Blog

    The purpose of the 'Center of Hope' Shelter Blog is to function as an online blog for the residents of the Salvation Army 'Center of Hope' Homeless Shelter located at 1200 North 'B Street in Sacramento, California.

    Here we will help provide news reports about shelter clients and activities, about housing options and other vital information for our people. Plus, to help provide a strong sense of community among its people.

    The primary purpose of a homeless shelter is to provide Temporary Emergency Shelter for homeless people whose main focus should be on searching for and securing stable housing where they can have a safe, sane and sober home.

    We know that people have five basic survival needs:

    1. Food
    2. Clothing
    3. Shelter
    4. Medical Care
    5. Quality Education

    Thus, we see that shelter is a basic survival need and the Salvation Army 'Center of Hope' helps to meet that need, if only on a temporary basis.

    It is important for people to secure stable housing and to hold on to their housing situation. Thus, the importance of our being functional mature adults who are employable, productive and responsible in our lives.

    For those of us who are renters, we need to be able to pay our monthly rent on time and not get stuck in the vicious cycle of chronic homelessness.

    We will add more features and information to this blog as time goes by.

    Blessings and Prayers ~
    Counselor Peter S. Lopez, Housing Coordinator
    The Salvation Army 'Center of Hope'
