The Rental Housing Inspection Program schedules registered rental property for health, safety, and welfare code inspection and requires correction of cited violations. 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.
Rental property is registered property by property; the programme publishes exemptions that must be claimed rather than inferred from a missing notice.
Some units, including certain newer property and property regularly inspected by another agency, can qualify only after the city's exemption review.
