Planning & Development Services Department will present to City Council the results of an evaluation of the condition of every single- and two-family structure within the City limits. “This work,” said Marc Mylott, “reviewing more than 28,000 structures, neighborhood by neighborhood, is based upon the requirements of the International Property Maintenance Code. We began this critical work, with the assistance of USC graduate interns, because the department had no baseline of existing conditions. As such, staff could never quantitatively determine whether or not code enforcement efforts were leading to improvement. Equally important, this work allows us to assess our allocation of resources (size and extent of inspector territories) and the inspectors to know where they need to focus their efforts.”
