Community Mandatory Inspection Service

(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 07, 2009 ) Sacramento, CA - Many property owners who want to invest in Sacramento City and the surrounding areas may not be aware of the regular mandatory inspection that is required for rental properties. During the inspection, the property owner is expected to be present or a represntive. All the rental properties must comply by the cityÂ’s rental property norms. If they are found to be violating the norms rental property owners will be given a 30-day correction time to rectify the problems failing will require follow up inspections will be done until the issues are corrected. No additional follow up inspection fee will be charged if the issues are rectified after the first inspection. If the inspecting authorities find that the property owner did not address the problems, then the uncorrected issues will incur inspection fees until the problems are corrected. If the follow up inspections are not done within the 30 days of the previous inspection, then $150 is payable as fine. The correction period of 30 days time starts from the day of the inspection and the 30 days are calculated not only business days but it also includes weekends meaning it will be a 7 day week.

Therefore, the time you get to correct the issues is very little.
Many property owners find it a hard to make themselves available for the inspection as they may be living elsewhere. However, there is a way-out for this problem; many property owners are getting landlord help from Property Management Service providers by appointing a property manager. Owner must appoint an on-call company or person if the owner lives 35 miles or more from City Hall. Your property manager can represent you during inspections and they will inform you of the proceedings of the inspection. If any corrections are to be made, you will be notified immediately.
