The City of Pasco Code Division strives to gain voluntary compliance through communication, outreach and education. Voluntary Compliance Agreements are used to provide up to 90 days for compliance with certain codes and situations. This may include issues such as landscaping and cases entailing corrective action which is large scale/high cost, with the understanding the property will be maintained free of any other code violations during the agreement period. Last month staff rotated weekend dust patrol and weekday shift schedules. We also welcomed back a Code Officer who had been on leave for the prior four months and retrained our temporary Code Assistant to help the Business Licensing Department due to a staff shortage. Code Division staff assisted in completing three inspections for the CDBG owner occupied rehabilitation program creating work write-ups for requested and required life and safety repairs. The Rental Inspectors and Lead Code Officer joined others around Washington State in a Rental Housing Roundtable. This group will meet quarterly to discuss best practices, common issues and resolutions and to learn from each other’s programs. Fun Fact: The City of Pasco has the longest standing Rental Registration Program in Washington State. We are continuing to add local area partners to our resource lists to better provide information to our vulnerable population. We met with two volunteer chore groups offering (basic yard clean up and trash removal services (free of charge) to elderly, low-income and disabled residents. When a Code Officer or Rental Inspector is in contact with a resident in need of assistance to resolve code violations, they are provided a list of volunteer chore groups to bridge the connection between those in need and those who can fill that need. Staff worked with management at an apartment fire on Jay Street to assist in ensuring the eight rental units were secured and the tenants were relocated, at an apartment flood on Chapel Hill affecting three rental units, responded to a single family dwelling fire on Candlestick to ensure the structure was posted and secured from entry, and to a car versus building accident on South Elm at a gas station. Staff will continue to work with the property owners and managers to ensure these structures remain secured from unlawful entry and occupation to prevent life and safety hazards and to assist in the process of repairing the structures to restore for occupancy. FEBRUARY 2024 MESSAGE TO THE BOARD Code Division staff arranged a presentation in conjunction with the local Northwest Justice Project office. Their services are available across Washington State to low-income, senior and vulnerable persons. They offer free legal aid, tenant eviction assistance, foreclosure assistance, consumer law, veteran’s aide, farmworker housing and many others.
