(2) Status Report Code Enforcement Inspections January, 2012 This report lists all inspections performed by individual staff for the month. To be counted as an "inspection" a written "correction notice" must have been issued as a result of the initial inspection. (3) Code Enforcement Compliance Actions/Rental Inspections /Certifications 2011 -2012 This report lists the total number of residential rental dwellings, by district (No. 1 -8), requiring inspection certification over the two year period noted. Each rental unit inspected and certified as in compliance with minimum habitability standards is marked "passed ". Those that do not pass the initial inspection or require substantial repair are marked "failed ". Code Enforcement Activity Report Page 2 (4) Pasco Rental License Program: January- December 2012 This report tracks progress in the annual licensing of rental units. As of February, 2009, we estimated that there were 5,788 rental units in the City. As license applications and non- rental certifications are received, these units are deleted from the figure of our original estimate of the total number of rental units. As of January 31, 5,114 dwelling units have been licensed or certified as non - rentals. This is over 88% of the estimated total. January Code Enforcement /Rental License Program Highlights In January, the City renewed our annual effort to locate and identify as many unlicensed dogs in the City as possible. To do so, two temporary Inspection Services Division staff are canvassing all residences in the City. As potentially unlicensed dogs are located at these homes, the owners are provided licensing information and advised that the dogs must be licensed by February 29. Through January 31St, 7,020 residence were canvassed and approximately 1,016 unlicensed dogs had been located by the canvassers. Basically, unlicensed dogs are being found in roughly 14% of the homes visited. The February report will be submitted on March 10, 2012. If you have any questions during the interim, please call.
