The goal of the program is to <br />protect the quality of neighborhood prop erty both in values and livability. <br />This protects resident’s investment in their home from those few rental <br />properties or business that would otherwise not care about the negative <br />impact that a rental property has on a neighborhood. In addition, the goal of <br />the program is to ensure that <br />3 <br />4 <br />5 <br />6 <br />7 <br />8 <br />9 <br />all residents have access to a quality, safe <br />living environment. We must be aware of, and act on, the fact that there is <br />absentee slumlords in the community wh o are only interested in turning a <br />profit and do not care who they take advantage of or hurt, whether it be <br />their own renters or adjoining property owners. <br />10 <br />11 <br />12 <br />13 <br />14 <br />15 <br />17 <br />18 <br />19 <br />20 <br />21 <br />22 <br />23 <br />24 <br />25 <br />26 <br />27 <br />28 <br />29 <br />30 <br />31 <br />32 <br />33 <br />34 <br />35 <br />36 <br />37 <br />38 <br />39 <br />40 <br /> <br />2. What are the numbers? Staff Response below: 16 <br /> <br />Based on Ramsey County Assessor’s ta x records and Roseville utility billing <br />records the following are estimates of Roseville 1 to 4 unit rental housing <br />structures: <br /> <br />• In June 2002 – there were 154 non-homestead single family properties. <br /> <br />• In January 2005 – there were 274 non-homestead single family <br />properties. <br /> <br />• In June 2005 – there were 413 non-homestead single family properties. <br /> <br />This is a 168% increase in the last 3 years (June 2002 to June 2005) and a 51% <br />increase in the past 6 months (J anuary 2005-June 2005). Not all non- <br />homestead properties are rentals but staff estimates conservatively, based <br />upon June 2005 numbers that approximatel y 45% to 50% of the non-homestead <br />single family properties are rental. In addition, it is estimated that another 100 <br />units of homestead properties are rentals based upon differences in ownership <br />name and water bill name for the same address. <br /> <br />How many rentals are problem properties? <br /> <br />The data has not been explicitly tracke d in the past and there is no way of <br />identifying this number without making so me assumptions. Ho wever, we can get
