Rental Properties

Our Multi-Family Inspection Section ensures landlords provide suitable, safe and sanitary conditions to people living in multifamily communities throughout the city.

This group also ensures that tenants are provided information on the responsibility and rights of being residents of a multifamily dwelling community. Through these actions, the Multi-Family Inspection Section assists in providing a peaceful and enjoyable atmosphere for landlords and tenants to work and live.

TCU Overlay District

The TCU Overlay District protects existing single-family residential neighborhoods by setting an occupancy limit of three unrelated persons in single-family zoning districts within the overlay.

All one-family and two-family dwellings must register by March 31, 2015. Additionally, owners of buildings being occupied by four or five unrelated persons, or those issued a building permit by Dec. 8, 2014, may continue such use by registering as a nonconforming use by March 31, 2015.
