  • Residential Occupancy Permit - Explains fees per service tier and payment options for the permit to be paid by Multiple Housing property owners: The annual invoice is due in December. Most owners renew on time.

  • Prepare for Inspection - Provides the inspection checklist and preparation tips, including the requirements for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms; balconies and decks; and barbecues. Give your tenants at least a 72-hour notice that inspections may take place prior to the arrival of the inspector.

    • Tenants - Instructions on how to secure necessary repairs from the property owner; handling rental disputes; how routine inspections are conducted; and a list of legal assistance resources.
    • Property Owners - Legal obligations for tenant relocation per the circumstances outlined in Municipal Code Part 11, including due to substandard housing conditions after the City issues a notice of violation.
