Interior Maintenance Code <br />Add Resources to Enforce Property Maintenance Codes <br />Action Agenda Item <br />GO <br />North Olmsted <br />2075 MASTER PLAN <br />Provide more resources to enforce property maintenance especially for single-family rentals <br />and multi-family areas. Both interior and exterior conditions should be addressed through the <br />creation of an exterior point of sale inspection program for all residential properties and an <br />interior inspection program for rentals and multi-family units. <br />?Successes <br />? <br />On September l, 2015, City Council adopted Ordinance 2015-59, which created a new <br />Chapter 1319 of the Building Code entitled "Licensing of Rental Units" and Ordinance 2015- <br />63, which created a new Chapter 1364 in the Building Code entitled "Interior Maintenance <br />Code." Together, these two ordinances built upon the City's existing rental registration <br />requirements to further permit the City to conduct interior inspections of rental units including <br />one- and two-family homes and apartments. The administration's intent is to inspect the <br />exterior and interior of all rental homes each year along with 25% of apartment units. This " <br />initiative, intended to strengthen the City's housing stock and neighborhoods, gained further <br />support from City Council during the 2016 budgeting process. Three additional staff members a <br />were added to the Division of Building in January 2016, two inspectors and one permit clerk, <br />for the purpose of implementing the City's rental inspection program. <br />North Olmsted Master Plan Annual Report ;?.??'`? l???' 5
