Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 08, 2012 Page 15 Councilmember Pust clarified that she was referring to units turning over. Ms. Kelsey noted that, in the outline, opportunities were addressed based on a complaint basis, or when a third party observed an issue (e.g. fire department first response personnel); who would in turn notify staff to get into a unit for in- spection, at which time staff would notify property owners for an initial deter- mination of the status of that particular unit. Ms. Kelsey noted that this could then determine whether or not the entire property underwent an inspection at that time, or whether the complaint was credible. While that made sense, Councilmember Pust clarified that she preferred to ad- dress issues before a third party was called in, and reiterated Councilmember Johnson's former interest in"point of sale"type inspections. Ms. Kelsey noted that could be addressed as a rental right based on inspection and the condition of an individual unit. Councilmember Pust spoke in support of considering such a provision. While not currently included in the draft program presented by staff, Mr. Trudgeon concurred that it should be addressed. Mr. Trudgeon opined that it may be burdensome every time a unit turned over, at a minimum it should be addressed when a property was sold, and would serve to get everyone back to square one, while also allowing staff to interact with a new property owner and inspect the building to make them aware of the City's expectations. Councilmember Pust concurred with inspections when the property is sold, and recognized that it may be burdensome to inspect units when they turned over; however, she suggested that a future ordinance include exchange inventory of conditions as part of a new tenant's paperwork, along with a statement from the City listing its expectations and standards, so new tenants were aware of those issues. Member Lee suggested a lease addendum be required; however, she noted that property tenants in "Type D" buildings were not typically going to read their lease agreements. Councilmember Pust suggested adding that as an incentive and as a marketing tool for property owners; as well as giving more power to the private market place and other tenants. Councilmember McGehee opined that, if a property was determined as a prob- lematic "Type D," the whole unit inspection process outlined by Councilmem- ber Pust could serve as additional incentive for them to improve individual units as they turned over, which would slowly upgrade them to another category.
