This is an inspection report on the rental property one of the prosecuted landlords remodeled for a fellow landlord. The property got a score of 99.25. There was NO INTERIOR VIOLATION. However, the inspector found two exterior violations. One was an unpainted part of the wood to cover the former doggy door! (photo at bottom.) Does it affect tenants' safety and health???
The ordinance says if you get a score of 85 or higher, you'll pass. However, the city still makes you repair everything inspectors note. So essentially you have to get 100! The only difference is that the landlord doesn't have to pay a re-inspection fee as long as s/he scores 85.
That is just like Garland's original (pre-lawsuit) program. Richardson's program is more deceptive. It doesn't say upfront "you have to get 100."
The inspector also noted,
"Recommended Improvement: accumulation of dirt on the side walk"!!! (Seriously, I'm not making this up!)
