Would like to see a grid comparing the existing codes with the proposed <br />IPMC. Staff Response - A comparrson of the IPMC, 2003 edition and the <br />existing City Code is provided in Attachment B or Council Report fo� <br />12/19/05 <br />2. Would there still be a benefit to doing the housing maintenance ordinance <br />without the rent4l ordinance? Staff Response - Yes, but inspection staff still <br />believes there is value in a rental licensing ordinance which is currently being <br />revised for further review on Tanuary 30, 2006. The issues of housing <br />maintenance and /ack of a hausing maintenance code to oddress issues has <br />been studies and discussed for the past 10 yea�s for all properties. <br />3. Housing maintenance code is very much needed - existing codes are outdated. <br />Staff Response - Yes, however the rentalissues willstill�emain. The I.P.M.C. <br />simply better defines what is meant by inaintenonce'and specifically <br />oddresses critical mointenance issues Fa� example, a new car comes with o <br />small manual that specifies �equi�ed maintenance. Mechanics use a much <br />bigger/thicker maintenance manual. Their manual does not requi�e more <br />mointenance; it just bette�- explains and descrrbes required maintenance. <br />Same wrth the I PM.C„ it better describes what is meant by maintenonce. <br />With housing stock up to 50 yea�s old, this is becoming a mo�e significont and <br />necessary issue with each passing yeor. Unless the overall housing stock is <br />maintained p�operty values willnot keep up with sur�ounding cities and/or <br />inf/ation, property owners will loose appreciation volue, and property tax <br />receipts will lag. <br />4. Isn't existing property - both rental and ownership - covered under existing <br />state laws and Roseville codes? Staff Respanse - Yes, butstate law tends to <br />be verygenerolin scope and does not provide adequateguidance ta the <br />prope�ty owners and inspectors. Roseville has not adopted a specific housing <br />maintenance ordinance, nor has a specific rental licensing ordinance been <br />adopted. Some of the items ore be covered under existing codes but they <br />
