City May Expand Rental Registration Program
City plans to broaden rental registration with inspections for electrical, plumbing, and fire code issues in older units. Proponents say many properties are in poor condition and could blight neighborhoods, while landlords warn of higher costs and fairness. The plan targets properties 50 years or older and would fund two new inspectors at 47000 each.
