Up until now, the Department of Housing and <br /> Urban Development required a maximum occupancy of two person per bedrooms. Because it was found <br /> to be unconstitutional to restrict the number of occupants in a dwelling unit, HUD has abolished their <br /> current occupancy standards. Individual municipalities may establish occupancy standards based on <br /> square footage requirements. This change is reflected in Section 1005.09, Subdivision 8. <br /> The second change proposed is to require inspections to be conducted prior to issuance of a Multiple <br /> Dwelling Registration. Currently, the all multiple dwellings are issued licenses by April 1. With this <br /> change, registration certificates will be issued upon compliance with the Housing Code. <br /> The third change proposed addresses the correction of immediate hazards stating that no occupancy shall <br /> be permitted if an immediate hazard exists (immediate hazards are listed in Section 1005.14, Subdivision <br /> 4). This would allow the City to require that any hazards listed in this section be corrected immediately <br /> (or within a time specified by the City). If repairs are not completed within this specified time, the City <br /> would be authorized to make the repairs and asses the costs to the property. <br /> Adoption of the ordinance does require a roll call vote as provided on the Agenda. <br /> �1 <br /> Jennifer Bergman, Housing Inspector <br /> / <br /> E('OMMENDATTON; <br /> Motion to waive the second reading and formally adopt Ordinance No. 572 amending the Municipal Code <br /> by amending Chapter 1005 entitled"Housing Code." <br /> J <br />
