Inspection Scheduling — Property owners will be asked their preferred dates and times for <br /> inspections. The inspector will ask if a single-family/townhome unit is occupied or vacant. <br /> Scheduling preference is for tenant turnover period with single-family/townhomes. It is <br /> acknowledged that property managers may want an inspection report prior to tenant move-out in <br /> order to properly schedule his/her maintenance work during the turnover period. It is the <br /> responsibility of the property owner to coordinate scheduling with the tenant. <br /> 3. Times of inspections. Inspections will be conducted during normal City Hall business hours and <br /> dates. Evening and weekend scheduling will only be made as a last resort,subject to supervisor <br /> approval. The Rental Inspector will notify the on-duty Police Department sergeant before going <br /> on the inspection of the timeframe and location of the inspection(s)and then check-in via email or <br /> phone call once the inspection is completed. No inspections will be conducted on observed <br /> holidays. <br /> 4. Inspector lunch break—A property manager can request inspections for multiple properties to be <br /> conducted back-to-back. The Rental Inspector will be able to suspend the inspections, after <br /> finishing a rental dwelling unit,to take a lunch break at a reasonable time. <br /> 5. Notice to Property Manager by City. The property manager will be given the opportunity at any <br /> time to schedule an inspection. The offer to schedule will first be made during the time of initial <br /> application/renewal,but scheduling an inspection at this time is not required. The Inspector will <br /> provide an email reminder 30 days prior to when an inspection is needed—within three months of <br /> the initial application or on the annual cycle as noted above in Section E. If the property manager <br /> does not contact the Inspector with a desired inspection time two weeks before an inspection is due, <br /> an inspection will be scheduled and the property manager notified. <br /> 6. Notice to Tenants by Property Manager. The property manager is required to provide the tenant <br /> with at least 24-hours'notice as required by State Law. It is encouraged that the property manager <br /> provides additional notice as a courtesy. <br /> 7. Notice to Tenants by City.
