BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Two years ago, after a very successful demolition abatement program in Bay Point,
Supervisor Joe Canciamilla and his staff determined that a more comprehensive
program should be developed to address the overall improvement of the area.
District 5 staff began to work with County staff in the County Administrator's Office,
Building Inspection Department, Community Development Department,
Redevelopment Agency, County Counsel, and Housing Authority to develop a variety
of programs that would address the overall improvement of the neighborhood. After
review of the goals established for the community, it was suggested by District 5 staff

Rental Dwelling Unit and Maintenance Ordinance
November 14, 2000
that the development of a rental inspection and property maintenance program would
address the need to rehabilitate and improve properties before they become so
substandard that the only solution would be abatement or demolition. Towards this
end, staff began to develop data regarding the number of units impacted and how a
program could be developed to address this problem.
More recently, the office of Supervisor John Gioia has been working in the North
Richmond community and has also determined that a rental inspection program
would be a positive element toward neighborhood revitalization in the West County
area, coupled with other neighborhood preservation ordinances (i.e., vacant lot
registration, fencing and boarding).
It is recommended that County staff continue to work with both district offices to
develop a community preservation program that includes inspection of rental units,
vacant lots, property maintenance and housing rehabilitation. Staff is also directed
to identify the blighted and deteriorated housing stock.
