The study indicates that the multifamily housing stock <br />(the actual bricks and mortar) in both rental and ownership projects is <br />aging and reinvestment is critical. Through 2003, fewer than 350 new <br />units of rental apartment have been built since 1990 and the majority of <br />the rental units are 40 years or more years old. Critical improvements will <br />become necessary such as windows, roof, heating and air handling <br />systems, energy conservation and electrical services and accessibility. <br />Why is this good public policy <br />b.? There are approximately 9,000 <br />Roseville residents who live in some type of multifamily housing and over <br />70% of them pay rent. These residents are an important strand of the <br />community fabric. Helping to ensure that they live in quality, stable <br />housing reduces social problems that impact neighbors and increase the <br />demands on life-safety, school and social services. In addition, it is <br />critical to maintain this aging (and yet affordable) housing stock to ensure <br />that property values keep current with the surrounding communities and <br />inflationary indexes. Once the value of housing begins to decline the <br />impact on the community will increase services, complaints and crime. <br />Possible Action Steps: <br />c. - evaluated annually for implementation within <br />budget resources <br />i.Explore how other communities and HRAs have implemented a <br />Rental Licensing Program, to be <br />Housing Maintenance Code and <br />considered as part of the 2006 Budget cycle. <br />ROSEVILLE MULTIFAMILY HOUSING REPORT 10/19/04 APPENDIX <br /> <br />
