Rental Housing Maintenance & Inspection

The Fire Marshal administers the City's Rental Housing Maintenance / Inspection and Licensing Program. All rental housing units need to comply with minimum standards of maintenance. The Fire Marshal makes periodic inspections of rental property to assure this compliance. The purpose of this program is:

• To protect, preserve, and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare;
• To prevent housing conditions that adversely affect the lives of renters including their physical, mental, and social well-being;
• To provide minimum standards for basic equipment and facilities for light, ventilation, and thermal conditions;
• For safety from fire;
• For the monitoring of the use, location, and the amount of space for human occupancy;
• For an adequate level of maintenance;
• To preserve the value of land and buildings throughout the City;
• To provide for the administration and enforcement thereof.

For information on Rental Housing Maintenance/Inspection Program or the minimum standards of maintenance, call the Rental Housing Licensing at 952-448-9200.
