Fresno's Rental Housing Improvement Program conducts baseline and compliance inspections of registered rental housing; owners must register before claiming an inspection exemption. This local programme does not replace California's exterior-elevated-element duties. An ordinary rental apartment building with three or more multifamily dwellings follows SB 721 when qualifying wood-supported elements sit more than six feet above ground: the first report was due in 2026, repeats every six years, and passes to a later buyer. Health and Safety Code section 17973(n) excludes common-interest developments; a condominium project with three or more attached multifamily dwellings instead follows Civil Code section 5551, with association responsibility, a first inspection due in 2025, and a nine-year cycle. Ask for the applicable owner or association report.
Owner-occupied property, mobilehome parks, vacant units, specified institutions, units less than ten years old, and property inspected by another government programme can have stated exemptions or alternative treatment.
The published baseline inspection fee is $100 per inspected unit as of the verification date. Check the live fee schedule and any exemption approval rather than assuming the assessor's occupancy establishes programme status.
