(60 minute discussion)
Staff is proposing to adopt the national model 2006 International Property Maintenance
Code (IPMC) with the 2007 Supplement as the basic template, plus local amendments, to
update and improve the current "Dangerous Buildings Code" (which is addressed in a
separate item)and the current"Rental Housing Standards." The IPMC is updated every three
years. Staff's goal is to produce minimum standards that reflect Council's priorities.
This item focuses on the"Rental Housing Standards"provisions currently located in Chapter
5 of the City Code. Rental Housing Standards are regulations that prescribe minimum
standards for basic living conditions in rental housing. Examples include provisions that
address items such as: shelter, safe exits, heating, sanitary and bathroom facilities, lighting
and ventilation. The proposed regulations would be the first comprehensive update to the
City's existing complaint-based and first local Rental Housing Standards originally adopted
in 1982. Prior to enacting the new"occupant-limit ordinance"in January 2007,only a small
number of complaints were filed, typically 20-30 per year.

5. Adjournment.
