On July 19, 1992, representatives from the Planning and Building Agency <br />and various apartment associations met and reached agreement on the-proposed Proactive <br />Residential Enforcement Program. <br /> <br /> 3. The purpose of the proposed program was to promote public health, safety <br />and welfare through a proactive program of periodic and systematic inspections of all <br />residential rental properties in the City of Santa Ana. <br /> 4. The spirit of the proposed program was to promote environments in which <br />unsanitary conditions and life safety hazards are reduced for occupants of residential rental <br />properties and inspection would ensure that building systems providing water, sewage <br />disposal, heating and electricity are safe and operational and encourage the residential rental <br />industry to affect repairs and conduct preventative building maintenance before deteriorated <br />conditions upon rental property reach gross proportions. <br /> 5. The adoption of the Proactive Rental Enforcement Program necessitated <br /> increased staffing to focus enforcement efforts exclusively on the identified proactive rental <br /> inspection areas. <br /> <br /> Ordinance No. NS - jl,~t;~ <br /> Page 1 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
