The Department shall ensure that all properties registered under this Chapter 22.214 shall be inspected at least once every ten years, or as otherwise allowed or required
by any federal, state, or city code. In addition, at least ten percent of properties
whose prior inspections are more than five years old shall be reinspected each year.
The Director shall by rule determine the method of selecting properties for reinspection.
C.
If the Department receives a complaint regarding a rental housing unit regulated under
this program, the Department shall request that an interior inspection of the rental
housing unit identified in the complaint be conducted by a Department inspector using
the general authority, process, and standards of Chapters 22.200 through 22.208. If, after inspecting the rental housing unit the Department received the complaint
on, the Department determines the rental housing unit violates the standards in subsection
22.214.050.M and causes the rental housing unit to fail inspection under this Chapter 22.214, the Director may require that any other rental housing units covered under the same
registration on the property be inspected following the procedures of this Section
22.214.050 for inspection timing, giving notice to tenants, and submitting a certificate of
compliance. The inspection of any other rental housing units may be conducted by a
private qualified rental housing inspector.
