Council Meeting: March 24, 1992 Santa Monica, California
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Staff
SUBJECT: Annual Report on Compliance with California Revenue
and Taxation Code section 17274 Regarding Rental
Housing Code Enforcement for Calendar Year 1991
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to present the Building and Safety
Division's rental housing code enforcement activities as required
by California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 17274 and
recommend that city Council accept and file this required report.
BACKGROUNQ~
section 17274 of the California Revenue and Tax Code outlines a
procedure under which regulatory agencies report to the Franchise
Tax Board the names and addresses of the owners of substandard
rental housing in the Clty who fail to make necessary repairs to
bring the property into compliance with health, safety and
building codes within a specified period of time. The Franchise
Tax Board is required to deny income tax deductions to owners of
these properties until the regulatory agency determines that the
substandard housing has been brought to a condition of
compliance. The statute also requires that a report be filed by
each regulatory agency with its local legislature by July 1 of
each year, advising of the status of enforcement activities
initiated under this program during the prior calendar year.
This is the ninth annual report filed regarding Santa Monica's
housing code enforcement activities. 6 .-19-

ANALYSIS
The Building and Safety Division staff has reviewed the city's
records of rental housing code complaints and enforcement
activities during 1991. A summary of Santa Monica's rental
housing enforcement activities is presented (attached Table 1)
for the ... . 1979-1991. A total of 1600 complaints
perl.od or
referrals regarding housing code violations were received and
processed by City staff during this thirteen year period.
Subsequent inspections resulted in a total of 80 properties being
cited as having substandard units. All but three of the notices
issued through calendar year 1991 have been resolved without the
need to invoke the provisions of section 17274. These three
cases were also referred to the City Attorney's Office for
processing and have subsequently been resolved. There are at
present no cases in process where use of state statute is
expected to be necessary. Table 2 attached presents the 1991
information on See 17274 compliance activities for Santa Monica
;
in the specific format required by state statute.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT
